    Send me a pic please hump, mines an RR4.

    Have to say I'm a bit gutted at the mo, went in yesterday to find the bike had slipped off the paddock stand and was lying at 45 degrees against my mountain bike and has put a crack in the upper fairing just under the screen and a two inch straight line scratch about 2 inches long on the seat where it was resting against my pushbike. I'm absolutely gutted as it was mint, couldn't give a toss about the pushbike but my precious blade :-(

    I can get the seat blown in but I'm guessing it's a new upper fairing for me, any ideas the best place to get one or is it back to Honda?

    Toffy its hard to get second hand as most crash bike suffer front end first. I'd get it plastic welded if I was u. Then blown in or painted. Rear tail the same easy fix if ya take ya time

    Thanks for the offer, not sure what I can do really, fairing is just cracked with no paint damage at all, seat is very minor scratch. Never had any damage to any of my bikes before so not sure what I can do about it except buy new panels which I'm guessing you can buy already in colour. I suppose it could be plastic welded from the inside but again I have no idea how this would look or where to get it done.

    Always happy to have banter with a rednose though ;-)

    Thanks, I'd probably get it done by a bodyshop as I'd hate it if it wasn't spot on

    Thanks for the heads up, will have a glance round. Do you know where I can get the crack plastic welded locally that will do a spot on job as this could be a better option as most things appear to require repainting or repairs and anyhow and mine is just a clean crack.

    Thanks
