    So I had a minor crash today - there was some grease on the road from some bins and the front went from under me. I snapped the clutch lever but I do have adjustables which I have not fitted. The rear panel around the passenger seat is badly scratched, and there is a small crack in the left hand fairing.

    Any advice for me on the cheapest way to get this fixed or replaced?
    Thanks

    I'd just be keeping an eye out for replacement panels on ebay tbh for that ...

    Game of patience on ebay or go chinese.

    You could get some seat cowl protectors which may cover up the rear damage. Front would need some plastic welding through.

    I have exactly the same coloured bike and have a small scratch on the rear fairing. I've been looking on e-bay constantly and it seems quite rare for the Hrc ones to go up for sale.

    If your ok with fiberglassing panels you could take the fairing off and fiberglass the inside by the indicator. A little white paint and you should be unable to see it. As for the rear if it's not a deep scratch you could look at removing it and getting it painted
