Falling over SV650S (aka Charlie!)
 
Had that annoying experience of paddling the bike back in a friend's drive, and slip, there goes my foot on some fine gravel, and crunch down on the left side of the bike.:smt022

So need new indicators (managed to crack right one in a similar incident, hate gravel!), and have some nice scratches up both after-market fairings (solid red plastic, not undercoated).
My Q to you is, can anyone suggest a "T-cut" style solvent that'll polish out the majority of scratches?

Or we could share more of these mildly embarrassing stories!:smt043

Yep, did that wheeling mine into the garage. Fortunately it didn't hit the floor - the shelves got in the way...



...and put a huge crease in the tank :cry: I don't think T-Cut is going to help me much!

Can't help with your question tho, soz

I don't really rate 'T-cut', I prefer to use what body shops use - cream compound. IMO, I think it works a lot better than 'T-cut', with less elbow grease. Any car shop should sell it or give www.morelli.co.uk a try. That's where I buy it from. IIRC the comound I use is called G2?

PS. I have a set of OEM indies for sale if you're interested.
