My bike got dropped on its right hand side by a clumsy relative. This
resulted in only very slight damage to the paintwork, or so I thought.
After a week or so I noticed that the right hand support brackets for
the fairing and bellypan had been distorted and the body panels were
now butting against the frame, motor and, in the case of the bellypan,
the exhaust. Luckily I was able to straighten the supports quite
easily to restore the correct clearance. My machine is fitted with the
heavy fabric type protection and after a week of direct contact with
the exhaust there was no damage to the bellypan. Guess that means that
the quilt type insulation works pretty well.
