fairing repairs
 
Hi Guys,
just noticed fairing has split at rear attatchment hole :(, does ayone know a decent company for minor repairs. It does not affect fairing position yet but want to get it repaired before it gets worse.

use a soldering iron and a cable tie on the back to stitch it back together. if it's stressing then the bracket needs adjusting.

+1 easy repair. may be worth practising first. I bought some old fairings off ebay for a quid, damaged them, then repaired using the technique bib said. Once i was happy with it i sorted my fairings out, i also melted some paper clips (unsprung) inside it to give it extra strength

^heated some paperclips, the plastic melted around them, as opposed to super heating the metal

thanks guys

just been down to speak to bike paints

quote £30 sounds like a decent price considering he is going to blow in the paint to match. just need to get fairing down to them when I can bare to put the bike off the road.:-(
