Hi Tyler,

You said you were looking for stores that would carry the parts you need. I'm not sure if ya meant a physical walk in and order stuff store or online... but a dealership is certainly an option to consider (even though I'm guessing they will be expensive).

If you are looking for brand spankin' new OEM parts online, I'd suggest motosport.com. Good prices and they do ship internationally.

For previously enjoyed parts online, I'd post a WTB thread here on the forum in the For Sale section listing exactly what you're looking for, as well as search on eBay.

Hope this helps!!!

When people crash they usually go naked.
Or if the parts are just scratched/rashed, they paint it flat black.
You have salveageable bady parts ? You may be better off "flat blacking" it.
New body would be $$$ but see if you can find a converted naked - and see if the side you crashed on is the side they didn't.
Cool.

You can do it yourself.
Plastic welding is just a hot air blower and a set of ABS rods.
You can do almost as good a job with either super glue or other plastic adhesive.

Why not go naked ??
Cool.
