Title: I kept the bike upright, but was hit by a car yesterday
Post by: duanelr on December 04, 2021, 04:40:44 PM
The driver was at fault. It was the classic left-turn-in-front-of-me and I took a glancing blow off his front bumper. We exchanged insurance info and I want the right scoop replaced.

Two questions:
1. What is the paint color (paint code?) for the pearlescent white on the '86 1200?

2. Besides Ebay do you have any suggestions where to look for plastic?

Thank you!

1st off..... Glad to hear that you are OK and the bike took minimal damage.. :good2:

Silky White is the color that you need. I have used the Silky White from this company and it looks great.

In the attached photo, I used the Colorrite Silky White paint on the lower cowling and the saddlebag panels.

As for air scoops..... I have a pair of red ones that are in OK shape.... I can send you photos with the flaws.

Glad you're ok. If the photo shows the damage to the scoop to be the lower front corner, that is repairable.

Duanelr,

The FJ plastics are ABS plastic.  Home improvement centers will have the correct glue for the job, usually in small metal cans.
