pop over if you want and i'll take a look for you to see what can be fixed cheaply?

[SlowLearner]

Thanks for the offer AK
The bike is at P&H for a quote presently, i might take you up on the offer if they give me a heart attack, which i suspect they will :-(

Where abouts are you, and i guess your a mechanic / expert ??

am not either mate but have been about a bit and am in Woking.

If not doing on insurance, then just patch up what you have duffed up. Rally did this when he had a mishap off his 999 last year and it still has sctratched fairings though he did have to replace the tank as it kept leaking.

[SlowLearner]

OK Thanks, will let you know what P&H say tomorrow and then see how i feel about it.

[AK]

do it on the insurance Steve, as what it will cost you in extra premuim over the next 2 years or so will be far less than even buying a new tank for your bike

[chicken]

this is of little use to you now but might help in the future.

If you do end up replacing the panels, hang onto the old ones for trackday or keep the new ones for when you eventually sell the bike.

Ive got a spare pristine red tank that i was saving for a moment like this....

ooh wheres the idea smilie...........?

Sorry to hear about the mishap Steve.

You'll probably find that the increase in premiums is significantly less than paying for repair. If you've got fully comp it should be worth using it.
