ama146 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I lowsided yesterday at nelson and was wondering if anyone knows of any good fiberglass repair places? It would save me a ton of money over buying a new set of upper fairings. I am near the Fairlawn area, so the closer the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) I've suggested this stuff before since it does everything from filling in gouges/scratches to rebuilding tabs and seams.http://www.plastex.net/index.php?pr=Home_PageBUT, it's a DIY -- as for shops in your area, I can't recommend anyfull race body kits aren't severely expensive and may be able to order just the pieces you need. Friend of mine bought a Sharkskinz bodykit for his F3 and was less than $800 total Edited June 10, 2012 by Hellmutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama146 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Will that work on fiberglass? I have sharkskinz which is fiberglass, not plastic. and a new upper fairing (what i need) will run me $350, not all THAT much but I want to save as much as I possibly can because I am only a poor college student Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 yes sir, it's made for fiberglass repairshttp://www.plastex.net/index.php?pr=Product_Info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Copeland Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Are you ok ?I was there yesterday but didn't know what happened ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c7fx Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) You killed her!!!! I'm glad your ok bikes are just tools to get us down the road fast. I would go and get sharks again. They fit the best and actually hold up the best. Salvage all the clips since they are pricey too. Call me I have a brand new tank if you need one.

ama146 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm good, not a scratch or bruise on me. Good gear pays off. And the tank still holds fuel so I was just going to keep it on there for now Jeff. And if I replace the broken fairing, I will surely get sharkskinz again. Very good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Sorry to hear about the wreck, looks from the video like you tucked the front under trail braking or loading the front by the way the bars went and you went down. Also you might want to check to see if Todd is going to allow that tank to pass tech, bc that is a pretty major dent and looks to be jacked on the edge.

ama146 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 The bridgestone guy (don't remember his name) said he would run it how it is and said it was fine. He obviously isn't a race director, but ill ask Todd anyway. Ill take some closer pics and email him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said you need to think of safety aspect for both you and others if it is sharp and cause damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
