It's an interesting point about changes to the Highway Code. When was the last time most of us actually read it? For me, it was 5 years ago when I was prepping for my full m/c test. However, I hadn't looked at it since I passed my car test in 1968. I wonder how many changes have been made since then.

It'd be nice if they notified people.

Good evening Everyone,
Really sorry for not replying for such a long time, been super busy.
It's all finished now, here is the brief history of what happened.
Third party's insurance (Aviva) were taking a long time to sort things out , so I asked for a rental, was given a car.
After few weeks an engineer came to inspect the bike.
Then 2 weeks later got an offer of £2800 with upgrades and they keep the bike.
I asked for £3100 and I wanted to keep the bike, they wanted £1000 for it, I agreed and got the bike and £2100.

A guy from this forum sold me a fairing bracket set for £15 delivered.
I repaired the fairing with a soldering iron, but I am still looking at getting a replacement, the is a set on eBay on auction so please don't bid on it .
The End.

I want to say a big thank you for everyone's input, advice and help. I really appreciate it and it was more then what I expected.
I hope to meet some of you one day on a bike ride

All the best!

Nice.

A good bodyshop would be able to repair and paint the fairing no problem

Blapper · 20-01-17, 12:46 PM

Is that true Stilo? I was told by a good body shop that a lot of modern plastics are not repairable if broken.

Plastic welding is common in body repairs, I buy at least 1 damaged bike each year & I have had lots of plastics repaired. As long as all of the parts are there i.e. no holes just cracks then they should be repairable.
