The painted top part is easily removed and replaced.  However they are expense so look at a repair first.

Mine got scraped pretty well on the side as a result of a gentle drop.  Body shop wanted $300-$400 to buff out the scrapes, fill, and re-paint.  I ended up ordering factory color paint and clearcoat from Colorite and did the repair myself.  I think I paid about $60 for all materials.  It's not a perfect repair, but most folks don't notice. 


It's a vulnerable area of the bike and I figured it will probably get scraped again someday.  I don't want to invest a bunch of money just to end up scraping it again.
