Have you thought about taking the fairing off, and repairing it from the underside? I don't know for sure what you'd need for repairing plastic - but I imagine there is something. Patch it up underneath, then use some sort of body fill on the outside, sand her down smooth and use a spray paint to paint it.

Just an idea - and probably what I would do.

Sorry to hear u came off m8 but the best of us do at some stage.

I came off my zx6r last year moved over on a single track lane to let a car past hit some loose chippings on the bend and bang down i went, luckily i am a big bugger and the bike landed on me a bit so i broke it's fall but still got some damage,

listen to the folks in here tape it up learn how to ride the bugger then when u have enough money get it welded rubbed down and painted , oh and inveset in some crash bungs they saved my bike from alot of damage well them and my big ***

good luck and let us know how you get on

You shouldn't have to do that. Is it the stock exhaust?
