I fixed up my Bali 250, after it was blown over in a thunderstorm... It had mirrors broken, windshield broke, helmet shield broke, dash cover broke, broken reflector, and ignition was knocked inward.. I added up all parts for insurance adjuster. Called Honda to see what hourly charge to fix it. Honda said $75 per hour x 4.. Total damage and Honda working on it, came to $550.. Had $250 deductible- so got a $300 check. I bought diamond shaped mirrors for $25 from Amazon. Ordered windshield, dash cover, helmet cover from Roketa, but the helmet cover did not come in blue. White, red or black was all they had- so I took white. The ignition part I fixed. Had to buy white paint to spray body parts, to blend in the helmet cover. Then ordered decals and pinstripes. Since mirror lights were not on the new diamond shaped mirrors, I bought led lights and placed on windshield. It was fixed and running good.

Ouch. Glad she came through it in relatively good condition and that she is running good for you. I always get a tad nervous when I use the side stand instead of the center stand...lol.
Welcome to the forum.

Yes, she runs good. Had her out on Expressway 54 doing 65 to 70 mph, crossing the Missouri River and into Jefferson City. Ran great. Today I just rode around Holts Summit on 30, 45, and 55 mph roads. Went about 10 miles. Just out riding.. It passed inspection after fixing back up.. Needed the license tags renewed, but the storm made it wait 2 weeks longer. I just had changed brake pads and fluid. Last night was fun too. A tornado siren was sounded and we live in a mobilehome. Most people are not to abandon their homes- you can bet we did. You should never stay in a mobilehome in a tornado.

Here is a pic before it was blown over.. I recently made the seat cover for it, before the storm..

I never got one of those, but I really liked that style for a long time.
