Mate that is sh1t.

You will probably opt to repair that right fairing. However if you are looking for one I'll likely have an uncracked blue fairing at the end of the month. Was going to sell the front as a set but will separate it if it helps.
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

Been there done that...managed to cushion the blow with...Me...& as thats quite spongy damage was light.

Whip the fairing off, drill a very small hole at the end of each crack to stop it spreading, then get busy with the plastic welding.

Search 'plastic welding ' on u tube for the best way or pop up & see Wicky he's a dab hand at it apparently.

I feel for you, it's gutting when that happens. It was not so long ago I dropped my bike on the same day as Mac dropped his. Like Mac, I was lucky to have got away with not too much damage by going down with the bike.

Those standard front indicators don't help when the bike goes down, they normally break the inner fairing panel. Unfortunately it looks like yours fell quite hard, hence the damage to the outer fairing panel.

If you can remove and repair the fairing, things won't be look nearly as bad.

Good luck with the repairs,

Chris.

Cheers guys, I was gutted to hear it go down, I'd turned around!

Alan, cheers for the offer fella, how much do you want?

Rob, you're alright mate, there are a few scuffs on the other side from the previous owner, so I'm looking at Chinese or Czech fairings at the moment, not paying DSS £195 for a replacement :beer:

Carman, indi looks like it'll pop back together, been meaning to ditch them anyway lol.
