Default How do I fix this road rash?

Hopefully the pictures show this....

I would use sandpaper "by hand" and gradually increase the grit to maybe a 300 then finish it off with some wax.

LOL are you looking at those pics on your phone? They are both pretty trashed.

Nobody makes aftermarket plastics, and the OEM radiator shrouds are , i forget how much, but damn expensive. Sooooo mine have stickers and character. I did score a decent set of "06" shrouds that I use if I know I'm not going to beat the bike up. The stickerd up ones would go on if I was going to beat it up some.
