I mistakingly tried to adjust my mirror with an alan key (why I was so stupid I dont know)...Anyways, the key broke in half and the remaining piece I was holding scratched the front fairing. It's about in inch long above the right light, about 1/2 cm deep. Is there anyway this can be filled without repainting the entire front fairing?

Learn to love and appreciate your scratches, but I wouldn't repaint the entire front fairing for one little scratch...

Now this is a scratched front fairing and it's been this way for a looooong time:

yeah you can't keep your bike "perfect" forvever. anyone who rides will tell you that. i've got some little scratches on my front fairing from rocks/pebbles hitting it. sorry about your scratch though. i'm sure it doesn't look that bad

great job on the duct tape fret!

Ohhh i got a few bites,,,You

dont like it when some 1 gives u a harmless

do yas..I dont doubt for a minute that Fret would make me eat his dust, thats not what I was saying tho,I was just taking the piss out of him, its what Aussies do, its harmless, we have a different sense of humour over here, we can laugh at ourselves. As fretless once told me, "its good to stir things up a bit"

and I agree with him,,, I knew that comment would get a reaction,,,thanks fellas.

I liked your first response...it actually made me laugh, because it's such a blatantly true statement...there's no denying it!
