Falling over SV650S (aka Charlie!) - SV650.org

25-08-09, 05:06 PM

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.

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!

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

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.
