Default Re: Involved in an accident- Advice needed please

Anyhow moving on, Emankiwi.


Those brackets are pants. They literally only hold the fairing in place. They offer no structural support in an off. My bike once stalled pulling out of a side road, basically doing 1 mile an hour.
However I was wrong footed and couldn't stop the inevitable. I held it up in limbo for as long as I could. But had no choice when my back finally said no more than to place my bike on the ground. The banana bracket simply crumpled. Piece of ****.


That's why I purchased a set of R&G protectors, ok they cost £95.00. But having had the bike slip off the side stand one morning and smash into the floor. With zero damage to the fairing. I'm quite glad I did. Shame it didn't save the rear plastic too.


Sorry but I binned the other side in rage at the time.


As before, good luck getting it all sorted.
