the dealer would seem like the place to go for factory original parts...

No dealer currently has them in stock. I just checked a couple days ago. It can be ordered but its a few weeks out.

I layed mine down a 50mph a couple days ago. The left pod was pretty badly scraped but I wetsanded mine and buffed it out. You cant even tell except for the scratch in the black textured part.

Sand both pods and paint with a texture black paint to match the 'gills' at the front edge. Presto - red bike, black pods. I think that'd look pretty cool. And...just a guess...it's probably not the bike's last burnout so these would be easily 'touched up' in the future ; )

Four to six weeks seems to be the norm.

Depending on how deeply scratched, you might be able to polish it out...

I ordered and received a white pod in about 2 weeks last month. They had told me the standard 4-5 weeks.

Bodywork typically has a 21 day lead time, if you get lucky you can get it faster.

The Surlyn "works" pretty well/easy.

Wet-sand with lots of water.
I slid on mine a year ago and gouged the right pod nicely.

I started with 320 and worked up to 2000 then 4-0 steel wool and then polish.
All by hand, took a few days but looks almost new.

I ordered a Hero Blue air box on 1/23/10. The dealer still does not have it. So it looks like the 4-5 weeks is about right.
