New nosecone, new offside fairing panel, new bellypan (it's effectively the lowers) and new indie - total spend £699.51. To be fair, it's a lot of plastic. It's also an expensive lesson in how not to use the back brake
i have never really seen why they are so expensive, but then i guess it comes down the quantities produce,

was a repair an option as welding and spraying probably woudl have been cheaper but i guess with a mint bike u will want to keep it mint.

Hope u are healing faster than the bike.
