    Well gone and done it, been quite a lot of garage thefts of late around my area, so thought I would put on the disc lock and chain.
    Went to move the bike last night took off the chain and forgot about the disc lock. Gone and cracked the front mudguard, only a small crack but I know it is there so just will not do. Gone and ordered a replacement new OEM from Germany cheaper than Honda uk. So will be flogging off my slightly damaged mudguard soon, it may do for someone but will not pass my bike condition OCD. Remember and remove those disc locks all...

    Easily done Geoff at least you didn't try and ride off and dropped it causing ££££££s of damage.

    A mates uses a disc lock but uses one of those rubber coil reminders you loop over the throttle has saved his neck a few times

    Where did you order the fairing from? I need a RHS OEM replacement for mine.

    To be honest that is not too bad new, would think that is without decals etc, I got from a seller on eBay, they are just over £500 all in for a fairing panel all in, the problem is the limited numbers also depends on condition as you will pay for it due to the availability.

    I managed to get an original HRC one. Was not too keen on a carbon replacement.
