Pride has been known to bounce back after a beating... I reckon you'll be fine, the pink bits will heal too eventually.

get plastex, just grind out a bonding groove, make sure its a rough surface for it to bond correctly, and 25 mins frigging around max and its sorted. Just give it a hour to cure properly and you're set.

I was coming in from the right of this pic, at some point I realised that I was heading for that large wall in the middle. Notice that my drive is a good deal narrower than next door's. I was a bit undecided as to whether I should stop, turn or lean - and ended up doing all three. :oops: Did you know there are bits under a gpx that dig into the ground? Anyway, it did a little pirouette and slammed into the rocks under the letterbox. The head mechanic says this isn't the way to go about getting the new windscreen I wanted. I've already replaced the headlight and bracket and sorta stitched the fairing back together (again) but its too hot to be plastic welding today...

and this is more of a "team ah-fcuk 07" moment than "team crash 07" ;)

i think plastex, screen, and a tin of matched paint and she'll be sorted. oh and maybe sand down the scratchings on the rear view mirror and repaint that too?

I can fix it. :D I have the technology. This fairing has already been saved from the bin once...

Cost me $80 for the headlight and that funny shaped steel bracket its mounted on - would have taken me weeks to straighten that - so I only need to buy a screen and the rest is just labour. Eh, coupla days. :wink:

Good going if you can fix it that easy, a woman of many talents, even a talent if needs be to get them boys around to do the work for you!
