Thursday afternoon. Hopefully I'll get my rearsets and fit them before then too. Ordered the rearsets today and was told I should get them on Tuesday. Bling bling

No peg scraping for you then

I hope not.
The main reason I got them is that I don't like the OEM pegs swiveling mid corner as I'm trying to tuck my foot in to the heel plate. Plus I want the pegs further back.
Not just because they'll look nice. Honest.

Took the CBR for its MOT this afternoon and went through without any problems other than a comment re the chain needing a clean up. So I've cleaned it up and washed the bike, only to discover a fracture in the fairing:



I wonder whether when I dropped it painfully slowly in my garage 12 months ago and I thought the crash bung had saved the fairing, I did in fact cause a weakness at the point, which has eventually become a break.

What's the cheapest option? a secondhand fairing (trying to find a clean example) or to see if I can get the fairing repaired? I assume the former bearing in mind the location of the fracture near a fairing bolt.

Sorry guys. Weather forecasts been crap and for once they got it right.

If it's a nice evening next week, then let's do it.

Craig, some sort of plastic welding would do - but the panel may then need spraying.

Alternatively get a fibreglass kit and carry out a repair yourself.

Without wanting to sound rude - it's not like it's a

Thanks for the suggestions Dan, I'll take off the fairing and see how visible the crack is if I repair from behind. I'd be beside myself if it were a 20K Ducati

Dan Hale

To be fair once you've repaired it I doubt anyone would notice.

Given the location it'll only be you and a potential buyer who would.

I'd imagine you'll be trading it in for a blade soon anyway

I asked the MOT guy about my original tyres - he thought the edges could do with a scrubbing when the weather's better No blade for me yet
