The problem with plastics
As I do some marshalling duties for some of the rideouts around here, I decided to fit some strobe warning beacons to the back of the bike. They fitted perfectly to the underneath of my Givi rack...that was the easy bit.
The control unit is a perfect fit between the screen and the instrument pods so I started to strip off the plastics so I could route the wiring neatly. What a mistake! Whoever had the bike before had broken nearly every mounting point and codged every one of them. Ive managed to get the bike back together but now face a weekend of plastic welding some new mounting points to the bodywork.
I will also be keeping my eye out for replacement panels but the chances of getting the right colours isnt high

Even if you find the right colours, chances are unless they're new, they'll have damage too. 
Might just be better off doing a good job on what you've got. I've had to do a fair amount of repairs to mine as well.

I looked on the David Silver spares site tonight for something unrelated and discovered they still have stock of some panels, not expensive either
