UPDATE

I spoke to Hagon today and they have managed to straighten the wheel and both the discs, although they said the wheel was an absolute swine to repair and it looked touch and go more than a few times.

Now I just need to order a RHS Ohlins fork bottom and then in the process of fitting this, Mike will strip the forks to check for any internal damage.

Fingers crossed, the bike should be roadworthy within the next couple of weeks.

The cosmetics will have to come later, although I've started gathering the necessary bits as and when a bargain turns up. I recently landed one such item on eBay - a yellow 2001 RHS mid fairing (I was intending to retro fit early type panels anyway), repaired and then professionally restickered and resprayed. I can't see where it has been repaired, it looks mint. The auction ended at a really daft time (1am IIRC) and I'd even forgotten that I'd placed a bid days beforehand, so I was really pleased to receive an email the next morning asking me to pay an invoice for, wait for it, £2.99 + P&P.
