    Saw a few of these on the Scotland tour last year.
    Ouch indeed.
    But that's what decals were designed for ;)

    Apparently :)

    My fairing has a crack in it in exactly the same place.. Fortunately not a big hole,it must be a very weak spot..

    No Gary. Usually after the event of a stone. Not before ;)
