The old "I'm not mad at you, Dad. Just very dissappointed." Heh heh heh.

Get to the ColoRite website and you can match your OEM paint perfectly. That and some filler, you're all set.

As Ken was pointing-out about the colour-matching; it all depends on your own level of "handiness" and how much money you have. (to answer whether to fix or buy new, that is)

Myself, I'd just fix the body-scuffs and broken tabs, replace what's absolutely necessary to make the bike rideable and safe, and leave the last bit of scarred-stuff as a reminder.

But I'm a Cheap Bastitch.

Besides: Chicks dig scars.

And, existing scuffs tend to ward off new ones.

Stick to getting a new set of bars for now, and go ride!

You can probably find a new bar-end weight on eBay for next to nothing. Unless yours is gone, take a file to it and clean it up, get a new bolt from your local hardware store, put it on the new bars and go ride!
