From the pic, fairings looks as if can be plastic welded, about £30 for the welding and £30 for the spraying, just bend the h frame back, and when i came off i smashed my clocks to bits even the internals, a guy from pyramid plastics rebuilt them and the internals for £50 i'll find his email for you.

Doesnt look to bad, Maybe worth checking out Ebay first before spending money on getting it repaired.

It isnt even that difficult to plastic weld fairings yourself with just a soldering iron and some sand paper, I did mine. Just remove ALL paint around the area (front and back!) then melt the 2 sides together (25w> soldering iron would be needed, Nothing too hot else it may warp it) Some doner plastic would be good so you can overfill it then sand it back to give a smooth finish, You need to make sure it's hot enough to properly melt back together but not too hot to totally warp it. Mine was in 3 pieces are I removed it from the bike but went back together pretty easily Smile

I did buy another one in the end because it was cheaper than getting the crashed one resprayed and it was totally mint! I love ebay Smile

As for the metal, Just bend them back Smile

Fairings repaired now, I welded it myself. I will get a pic of it up here tomorrow if I get a chance. Need a screen and screen brace now.

I only hit her at about 20, It doesnt take much. Confused
