Fairing repair recommendation in London
« on: 07 June 2012, 10:39:37 am »
Unfortunately my bike was knocked over outside my place the other week, breaking one side of the fairing.. I dont think any sections are missing or have broken off so I think it should repair alright. I have had a quote from a very good repair place near me for 250 or so, but I think there are cheaper places around who do decent work - can anyone recommend somewhere?


Thanks!

How bad is the damage? Presumably it'll need a respray? 250 sounds about right to me unless the work is fairly minor, or unless the work is not of a very high standard.

Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."

Yes, there will certainly need to be a respray  :'(  . I had heard tell of good work being done including respray for less than 200 - but mainly up north. As you can see its a fairly clean break..

This happened to me  :eek  mine looked a right mess (will post some pictures before/after some some inspiration  :D )
 
I had a site sponsor of the teesside bikers sort mine out for me. He plastic welded and repsrayed all in for £140 (that was including the tank aswell...)
