Anyone Replace Their Upper Cowling?

Someone keyed the front of my bike.......................

I'll have to replace the upper cowling, and I was wondering if the headlight lens's come with the new cowling. If anyone knows I would appreciate it.

Thanks...........

No, the headlights and lenses are separate from the cowling.

Thanks smoke..............I thought the headlights were set back from the front of the cowling..........behind the clear lens's at the front of the cowling. What a drag................

The headdlights will actually come apart even though they are glued with the " black tar ". I have installed the Angel Eyes Lights in many 14's. Baking the lights in an oven @ 250 degrees for 10 minutes and they just pull right apart, instal the Angel Eyes, bake again and reassemble. They go back together just like factory.

I went ahead and filed a claim with the insurance company ( State Farm ) I've never filed a claim before and been with them for a long, long time. They were great, and handed me a check for a new upper,headlight assy., labor and tax today. Never asked to see the bike, OR pictures. The agent said he knew how I kept my bikes wanted to be sure it was put back perfect.

It felt good to recieve such great service AND be trusted........
