Default Headlight fairing needed

Hi folks,

Looking for a headlight fairing/nose cone section for my lovely 1990 CBR1000FL, which unfortunately came into contact with the road surface 3 weeks ago.
Any pointers, advice would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks in advance

Talking

Agreed on the two epoxy type stuff.

Also you can find cheap, good looking ajustable clutch/ brake levers on Flebay. Look in the hurricane section

As the other guys have said.

If you don't want to tackle it yourself there are folks that will do it for you at a price, here's one

Plastic repairs - Haslam Motorcycles

Or if you want to do it yourself have a look at this excellent thread.(You'll have to scroll to the top of the page).

P.S. keep an eye out for get togethers in the South East

Cheers Hawkwind, that thread was really useful to read thru.
started tackling the repairs today with fine aluminium mesh gauze, 'plastic padding' and some 'Isopon P40'. Quite enjoying the challenge to get her back to near normal !!
Will keep an eye out for South East meets ... many thanks

No probs Dave, glad to be of help.

BTW your pillion passenger has got some really nifty biking gear, I especially like the footwear, they look like you could wear them all day
