Re: Melted fairing

[mfay@xxxxxxxxxx (Martin Fay)]

     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.
     
     Martin
