Ah well, an excuse for some new cans rather than those OE things that weigh a ton.

Most of your plastics look fixable - probably not much different to the stuff we have squirrelled away for "emergency use".
Plastics are hard to come by (or if you can get new ones they cost the earth).
That's why we take a bit of a dim view when people chop them up.

I would say that most of yours will be good with a bit of filler, a good rub-down and a respray.

..... and I've had a look but can confirm that I don't have a spare leg.
You may find that a Mr Jake le Peg has an excess in that department but he's currently detained at Her Majesty's pleasure .... and we have reason to believe that it was probably not an extra leg ......

You take an even dimmer view when people Falcuono them

Nasty. Hope you get her back to her former glory. What were you wearing when you had the off?

I had everything apart from my leather bottoms. My top and feet are fine, gloves did their job too. I knew I should of been wearing leathers that day.

Well I have got on to parts finder to get what I can. I should be able to source everything I need, i am just lucky that the Engine and frame are all fine!!!!!!

And yes, she was mint but I will get her back to her full prettiness. I've had enough of having tatty bikes after a crash lol.

Good man. That road rash looks a bit sore but at least you are up and about

Not sure what I have laying about to help, but will have a dig around this evening.

Thanks everyone for helping out, I've got a head light and rear tail on its way. Plus, by some stroke of luck, someone is breaking a falco in my colours. My bank manger best give me that over draft I asked for ha.

Best Regards
