Actually, I have one also.  It has a very minor ding on the left side about
the size of a dime, where a little plastic was gouged out when my brother
dropped it.  I also have a lower left cowl with a few dings, and a rear left
tailpiece with a lot of paint scratches.    Since it was dropped on the left
side, most left side panels were replaced.

My brother dropped the bike when it was only 2 months old, and he paid for
the new body pieces out of his own pocket (to the tune of over $1000) in 94.
When I got the main cowl fairing, the guy said there were only two red ones
in the world (at the time), and they sent me one.  It was damaged by UPS, so
I sent it back and they sent me the other.  Considering that parts were so
hard to get, I figured I would hang on to the damaged parts, maybe sell
them.

  At one point I was going to give the tailpiece to somebody for free, but
then the changed their mind and did not need it.

I was in a motorcycle salvage shop last week and noticed an upper
front fairing section for a RED 1993 GTS with a few scratches on
it for I believe $110.00 ! It was hanging in the front of the
shop among a host of other front units for various bikes.  This
place is called Barry's Motorcycle Salvage located at 120 Walnut
St. in Montclair, New Jersey USA ph# 1-973-746-3622. Hope this
helps.
