Come flying out to two muppets trying to steal the wrong bike..
Dealing with muppet one whilst muppet two dropped the bike on its side. Muppet two come over to help muppet one, who got served a fewbomb sandwich’s. Mean while muppet two attempts to pick the bike up and drops it on its other side.

Realising I wasn’t a sausage, both scarpered.. but this is the damage I’m left with:-

Automotive lighting Hood Grille Automotive design Motor vehicle

Automotive lighting Hood Grille Motor vehicle Automotive tire

Wheel Tire Hood Automotive lighting Automotive tire

Vehicle Automotive lighting Automotive tail & brake light Hood Wheel

Automotive lighting Hood Motor vehicle Automotive design Vehicle

Tire Wheel Automotive tire Motor vehicle Vehicle

So, paintwork is paintwork, no two ways around that. The cracked fairings around the indicators, can they be mended to a reasonable standard? Or am I buying new fairings for both sides?

The scratch to the Akra carbon, can that kind of be blended out/ polished out to a reasonable standard?

Bikes going to be looked at by a body shop on Monday but waiting and the unknown is killing me.

Appreciate all input. Cheers guys

Plastic welding and repairs that I've seen in the past have been pretty flawless so I'd be the optimistic side of livid. The others parts are probably fairly reasonable to replace cost wise. Those front indicators are not ideal regards a tip over.

What's a bomb sandwich? Hopefully it hurts anyway.

Cheers for the info. Surprised at the lack of responses to this. I’d imagine a lot of people deal with a lot of damaged fairings.

Bomb sandwiches are fists been thrown because I didn’t have time to find something hard and blunt that would crack their skulls in two. A mistake I won’t make again

Yes, it is quite quiet round here generally unfortunately.

I don’t mind the sticking out indicators, they’re not ideal but it’s a problem for later. The cracked fairing around the indicators are the issues. Especially the side where the fairing is cracked 360 degrees around the indicator

Could be an excuse to go full GYTR fairing kit if it isn’t too pricey

Yes, I meant the fairing likely wouldn't be so damaged in a tip over with flush mounted ones. Probably just get a bit scratched up.
