    so after a run out on Sunday I found a 50p sized hole in my upper fairing above the headlights but below the mirror. It can be repaired by the local body shop but how good it will be I don't know so I'm after someone who is breaking a matching bike or if anyone knows the best place to find fairings for this bike.

    Fairing is white with a black decal the goes around the screen.

    The white has a metal flake in it which is why I'm not sure how well it will repair.

    TIA

    These are like the proverbial rocking horse Sh!t - good luck with finding one but think you will struggle I am afraid.

    YorkshireGooner may have something in his cave of spares

    I'd already gathered that these were hard to find from looking around online. How good are the Chinese ones? There is one on eBay unpainted for £50ish.

    Thanks guys.

    If unpainted you would be better off getting a genuine one 2nd hand and painting that

    I would but finding them seems to be the issue.

    I'll see what it looks like fixed I think and if I'm not happy I'll have to buy one.

    The china clone ebay ones are a different type of plastic - certainly not as thick / flexible as the original that's for sure.
    I bought one, never fitted it and recently sold it.

    How much is a genuine nose cone ?

    Cheap for an OEM part, probably cheaper than a Chinese one in the 'right' colour.
