The right side is what took most of the damage as that's the side I went down on first when it went over the curb.
The saddlebag had some deep scratches in it
I random orbit sanded the rash boogers off to prep it for filler. A forum member recommended a finishing filler called Icing which I found on Amazon. It goes on like Bondo with an activator. I'm using an adhesion promoter for all filler and primer when going over bare plastic.
The right fairing was too far gone to mess with, so I got a used one off of ebay. It's asphalt gray but will soon be turned into the fastest color Yamaha ever made.
The bike some how managed to roll onto it's left side as we migrated across the divider curb but the damage was less on this side.
This should buff right out.
The left saddlebag endured some surface scratches. Note the mud hole in the Givi box, don't know what it hit but whatever it was won.
The fairing lip here took some grinding action.
I didn't want to build this up with body filler, I figured that would be asking too much from it on an edge like that. So I ordered a Plastex kit made for ABS. I really like this product, it bonds well with the sub surface and provides a solid repair. I also used it on a cracked stiffener rib to weld it back together. Next comes the finishing filler.
The gouges on the stater cover were too deep for me to want to mess with so I found this cover on ebay. Of course the paint knicks show up much better in my photo than in the ebay ad.
I scuffed it down and shot it with some automotive grade spray paint. Close enough for this old Texican, it's the only part that I was able to get finished today
I know enough about body work to get most things done, but I'm armed and dangerous. I'm a little better with painting. If there's anything you see that could make things easier or better on me, I'm all ears.
