Default fairing repairs

this is what i done today
i've managed to drop my bike a couple of times in the month i've owned it, no damage other then busting the levers and cracking the fairing around the front indicators. unfortunately its been down on both sides so there's a bit more for me to do.
i used loads of gaffer tape on the inside to support the indies, but obviously thats a carp bodge. cant afford two new sides so i made a cool repair.
i took off all the panels and cleaned them, inside and out. using a soldering gun i then went around all the cracks on the inside, around the indicator mounts literally welding them tight.
end result is really solid, you cant see any cracks from the outside unless you know they're there and are looking for them and i'm well pleased with them
