[ST] body panels touch-ups

["CAPT Howard S. Serlick USNR" <serlick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Joel & all:
	You're going to find that new body panels are quite 
expensive. New main fairing panel costs about $420 and 
the upper cockpit fairing about $350. Used/salvaged 
parts will cost you about half price. You can call 
around the Triumph shops near you for or try bike 
breakers online to see what's available. At this cost, 
it would probably be worth your time and $$$ to have 
the pieces wet sanded, touched up, re-cleared and 
polished. If you are lucky, you won't need to have the 
parts completely repainted.
	Best advice I can offer is to not let anyone ride your 
bike unless they are willing to take responsibility for 
any damage they might cause.
Best,
