Dropped it! - Bugger!...Opportunity knocks?
Dropped my curvy this morning (taking it of the Paddock Stands) indicator has pushed right through the fairing!...... Gutted!
Been quoted 230.00 to replace it! - I quite like the naked look so wondered whether (seeing as I have to get it changed anyway) someone might know of an alternative front end I can put on it?! Any suggestions gratefully received! |

Re: Dropped it! - Bugger!...Opportunity knocks?
I know you can get GSXR type race fairings and make em fit with a bit of work. But i'd also imagine that would cost just as much if not more.

Re: Dropped it! - Bugger!...Opportunity knocks?
Depending on the extent of the damage sometimes it is possible to run a soldering iron (or whatever is handy filed to a point and heated) around the cracks on the inside of the panel to weld it all back together while taking care not to overheat the plastic. Push any plastic that is displaced by the soldering iron back into the groove with the tip of a knife as you go.

Re: Dropped it! - Bugger!...Opportunity knocks?
I think Steve Jordan quoted me £130 a side for curvy fairing panels last time I asked. So unless German duty really ramps up the price, should think that ( if the € to £ is still fairly similar) they should cost a fair bit lower than that!
May replace mine in the new year- 3 years overdue! |
