My lower fairing bolts came loose and are gone now too, I bought the stainless kit from desmoparts thinking it would have them in there, it did not. Where do I get just those bolts? I am going to have to get those fairings as well as mine are messed up too, but it was my fault.

I went to the dealer, and they only had one of the bolts, and no washer for it. Are you kidding me? Seems like a pretty basic part to have in stock.
If I repaint it, I'll sand the whole thing smooth with automotive grade sandpaper, prime and paint. No clear coat needed for this color.

sanding the soft plastic is a pita, it builds up in the grit and balls really quick when it gets warm. I'd just replace them for the trouble its worth to fix.
Black would look good too. maybe 06 flat black?

You're probably right...sometimes all the jacking around isn't worth it.
My only motivation to paint it myself is that I can also use the paint to custom-paint a helmet to match my bike, since finding a really good match is quite a challenge.

Yeh, I scraped the mid pipes and centre stand a few times while pushing hard 2-up. When the bike's pushing hard in corners, the slightest bump in the corner makes it bottom out. Now I take half a turn off the rear compression damping when doing that. Seems to fix it.

Nick2k if you go the paint route post up on how close the Colorite metalic flat spark black matches up with the factory paint please. I too have a customization idea if the paint is a good match with our odd-ball color on the 08 se.
