I need some advice on repairing scratches and cracks. My upper fairing and left fairing are cracked and scratched, can anyone give me advice on repairing scratches and cracks or recommend a good repair site or kit? Also, touch up paint! Thanks!

The solution to a cracked fairing sort of depends on the severity of the damage, in my opinion.

If there is some other scuffs around the crack, that may provide a reason to repair and buff the surface. I would only go to a Triumph Dealer for paint.

On the other hand, I've some some very nice custom work come out of situations like yours. Again, depending on the severity of the damage.

You can get epoxies and fillers from marine supply houses. You can probably get that kind of thing elsewhere, too, if you look around. You can fix anything with enough epoxy.

Look up Autobody supplies in your Yellow pages. You should be able to pick up the proper fillers from one of them. Lord Fusor is my personal favorite. Make sure the product you use is for the type of plastic you have(Don't use bondo).
How severe is the problem?
