Everything now looks as if it's aligned pretty well, though no doubt it'll all buzz like hell. Closer inspection of the main damage on the fairing is starting to lead me to believe it's something I could fix myself if I'm not worried about having a perfect job. The cracks can be closed quite neatly with just a little pressure, and no chunks have broken off. I'd be more interested in a proper repair if it wasn't for the cost of fresh paintwork, but I reckon I could get it looking "reasonable" by just touching it in after repair, assuming I can find a half decent colour match.
Seat was sticking a little on the catches where it took a bash on the tail unit, but a little selective bashing of a slightly bent lug seems to have solved that issue.
Thats good Nick..we may be able to repeat our |GLoucester Cheddear trip this December again
