Re: Sylvie down and damaged
Wonderful news folks, I discovered today that the paint on the fuel tank has been messed up! The Suzuki graphic is unstuck from the paint and poking out of the lacquer, there are sanding lines visible in the paint and scratches where they replaced the side panels. Unimpressed is not the word. Disappointed, upset and cross come close. So I was back on the phone to them today to complain most bitterly, the saddest part of it is that they did an amazing job on the fairing and the finish is like looking into a glass paper weight. How can they do one part so amazingly well and then another so appallingly bad? It looks very much like I am about to have Sylvie go away again!

Jayne, ask for the insurer to repair it locally.

 I have also spoken to them about the small piece of damage that they missed and they are going to have a look at that too. Sylvie is once again going away this coming Friday.

Re: Sylvie down and damaged
I had a phone call from Plantec today following my complaint about them paint job they did on my bike. They agreed that the finish was well below their usual standards and they also agreed to repair the scratch on the rear panel that they refused to do first time around after they claimed that it had been made by my luggage.
They have also resprayed my grab rail which did look untidy due to carrying a tail pack, a job I did not ask them to do or want them to do! My plan was that I was going to strip it and polish it up. However it is now painted in perfect paint they assured me. They have also agreed to replace the tank cover again, only this time they are not going to stick it on, leaving it to me to put it where I want it. Basically where it can protect the tank from my jacket zip. She should be back next week.
