So after dropping the bike at slow speed most of the repairs have been done save the front bracket/fairing frame/subframe/headlight frame .. no idea what you call it.
Noggy is looing at one of his lying around (nice guy) but I was thinking that the reason these come on the market/into hands is that a bike had been broken down/braking and the reason you might get hold of one - typically - is that the provider got rid of it because it was bent. Nearly new straight ones are hard to come by - I've not seen any.
I've tried fettling with hammering rubber mallet around the frame, using long 2x2 to bend the frame, poles, but no matter what I do when I put the nose ABS back on and fit the mirrors, the cockpit is tilted/twisted around vertical and horizontal axis , and the mirrors - well one is higher than the other ... all not by much but enough to do my tits in riding.
Any constructive helpful pratical tips ??
