So - did anyone need to be changed ?  ;-) You'd think they would be a 
little more cautious with a child.....

did you check the bracket to make sure you still have proper clearance 
between the pipe and the lower panel ? I'm sure you don't need to added a 
melted fairing to your repair list.

You mentioned that you were getting the hugger painted ? Is this the 
standard Triumph one and if yes did the painter think that he could get the 
paint to stay on it ?
