I have a tail light. Might have a tail piece. might have an headlight.
You need a fairing and a left bar?
Hmmm. Are those bits off the red bike yet Geoff?

They are off the black Falco, 2000 edition. I was just down Covernty today as well, but that was before the crash. Will you be around tomorrow at all?

Hi mate I live near Doncaster? Defo on the tail light.
Back panel is black but not sure of the marks. I will take some pics and pm you. I am 99% sure I have a headlight.
Just sold my black fairing on AF1 a few months ago....Sorry.
Only other choice is...

I could get it painted for you if the lad is not busy.
Or you could start from scratch and ......

How bad are the plastics? It may be that they can be repaired / plastic welded.
Some time ago, someone on Coventry Bikers Forum wrote:Hi all, I was chatting to
friends on sunday and the repair place I went to for my fairings came up and I thought I'd let everyone know about it.

Arnold's Fairings, wolverhampton way on. Bit of a trek but well worth it. I noticed he did some repair work for one of the long-termers in Bike magazine so I gave him a call. Very cheap and excellent work. Total cost only £30.
He's located amongst a load of warehouses but he was dead friendly and had some beautiful vintage ducati pieces he'd just finished in the shop when I went. I think he's a mechanic firstly and does chains and tyre fittings etc fairly cheaply but also does the painting and repairing. Def worth giving him a bell if you ever need anything.
Looks as though they are now in Stourbridge.
Don't think I've any spares of the things listed but if there are other parts needed, post them up and I'll have a look.

Hey up bollocks that falling off lark is ... Proper bollocks
Still you are up and about ... I hope!
Right as Blinkey says I will have some bits knocking about off the red one and definitely some bronze / black just pop a list up and whatever isn't heading to Blinkey will be available
Just need to get them off and swapped over

I need a mud guard, left hand fairing but not a priority, a rear cowling (but i may be about to glue it back together) the front sub frame is a bit bent but some heat will bend that back. I need a left hand mirror, might need a right depending on what is broken.
Still not sure, the front brake locked up and slung me, with her, down the road and in to a bush

Bad luck that buddy. Tyres shot or something on the road maybe??
Glad you walked away from it.
