So I've had a spot of bad luck this week and had the bike fall off it's stand not once but twice! :rant:
The first time was partially my fault and involving a hill, the second time was on flat ground, on a spot where it's been parked before and completely defied gravity. The net result is that I have a smashed up nosecone. I gathered the bits together and epoxied them back on to the fairing to get a basic shape, then I'm going to fibreglass, filler and paint to get a reasonable match. It won't be perfect but sod spending £200+ on a new nosecone.
Anyway! I replaced the fairing so I could use the bike for a while until the fibreglass kit comes and noticed that the second impact seems to have skewed the fairing out. I'm not sure what's caused this so I'm coming to you guys with help. Any ideas? I'm assuming a bracket has probably got bent out of shape and needs replacing/hammering but I couldn't see anything. It rides well and is completely normal other than this.
(Excuse the tape, I got away with not scratching the tank and I'd rather keep it that way.)
