Hi all..... well ive done something stupid....
I usually have to ride the bike into the Shed as its a steep slope in and out, last night i had to push it as the battery needed charging and couldnt get it to start, so built up my speed got the front tire up and the back one just didnt have enough momentum.......
it fell to the off side and into my BBQ, not being able to see in the dark i had to leave it till this afternoon
upon inspection ive found the it seems to have sliced the top (just on the inside) where i believe there had been a repair made (a very good repair) a few years back?
Any Advice on how to stick it all back together and paint it back up?
couldnt get any pics due to it being dark again but if you want them i'll grab some tomorrow?!

you dont actually state what it is that is sliced?

sorry, front fairing..... :oops at the top of the offside

I dropped my Fazer damaging the fairing and I got it repaired (plastic welded) and repainted by a local motorcycle specialist painter. He did a fine job and I'm really happy with the result. I wouldn't have got anywhere near the quality of the repair he did. A cheaper option maybe is to wait for a fairing to come up on ebay. If you're lucky you may just get it in the right colour too.

my fairing had a triangular shaped piece broken out of it when i got the bike - fortunately the piece came with the bike,
i used a dremel to "V" a groove where i needed to glue on the inside of the fairing.
i then used a 2 pack plastic bumper repair glue. i would say the repair is as strong as the existing fairing if not stronger. fortunately the fairing is black and so is the glue so it does not look to bad.
