I was stupid enough to drop my bike close to home. Managed to just lay it down and got away with a smashed indicator, small scratch on the exhaust & a scratched my lower fairing. I've just had it repainted, but the match isn't very good at all. The bike is the turquoise colour. Anybody had any repairs done that's been an exact match & if so, where? Or is it buy a new one?

Colour code is printed onto the bottom of the tank AFAIK You should be able to get a colour matched repair done.

And its also printed on the pink sticker in the front cover of the service book. Saves you lifting the tank if you are lazy like I am !!

I reckon that the scratches on my lowers add character to the bike. As does the dent in the tank, chunks taken out of the tail and gouges in the exhaust!

Yeah, a slightly used looking bike says you don't sit there polishing it all day!
