Refurbishing the Ace.
As you all know, due to a demented bint at Tesco, the Ace suffered some quite severe cosmetic damage.
So now left with the decision....... New plastics or go naked? £339 for new plastics + cost of a tank cover. Or I could rat it up, remove fairing fit a headlight, and leave it at that! £100 at most! Or I could stick with the gaffer tape and cable tie medication? What is the opinion? |

New plastics or stick with the gaffa tape. If you are going to be travelling 2 hours down fast a roads/motorways more regularly now, you wont really want a naked. Uou could see how much a plastic weld on your existing fairing would be?

New plastics or at least get yours repaired properly.

I wouldn't go naked. It's bad enough on the speed four at top speed let alone going faster.
