Wild hare vs fairing

I don't know for sure that they are still available, but since they are still on the site, it is worth asking.

 

I just looked on kleinanzeigen.de. Perhaps this is what @Tomchri meant. Is it any good to you? It's in Königsbronn in southern Germany.

Königsbronn is here:

EDIT: I just looked at the advert on Kleinanzeigen again, and noticed that the part is "nur abholung", i.e. "pick-up only", so the seller probably wont send it to the Netherlands.

BUT....

as it happens, I am expecting to be going from Leipzig to Altusried and back 3 or 4 times over the next 5 or 6 weeks. That means I will be going past there on the Autobahn A7, and picking it up for you would mean about a 10 km detour. So if you need help, let me know. Posting it on to you is not a problem, and if he wants cash in the hand on pick-up, that can also be done.

EDIT again: thinking about it, it might confuse the seller, or make him supicious, if you contact him and tell a story about "someone will pick it up for me". If you want the part, get in touch with me and I will try and buy it. If I can get it, we can take it from there. If you change your mind, it is no big deal. That would mean I have a spare part that I don't really need right now, but one can never have too many spares, even if they are the wrong colour, so no problem.

It would be amazing if you could do that for me, it looks nearly pristine except for the one damaged bit on there. The color is right too!

Since this part of the fairing is too far gone to repair anyways, I did do a quick fix with some zip ties so I can at least ride the bike until I get all the parts to fix it.

Well done, very creative. It makes me wonder if it would be possible to build a sewing machine that sews with zip-ties.

 

Anyway, I'll send you a PM with my mobile telephone number. It would be good if you send me yours. My first trip down to Altusried is later this week.

Update for curious bystanders: I've sent a message to the seller on kleinanzeigen.de, but he hasn't reacted yet.

I expect he doesn't look in that often, as the ad was first placed in February this year. I take the fact that it is still there as an indication that the part is still available. As far as I know, kleinanzeigen ads get taken down after a month or six weeks or something if one does not actively renew them.
