Bike repair after off this morning

So on my way to Crediton to get my GPZ 900 mot and unfortunately at sub 20mph, I applied my brakes and was on some gravel and the front washed out on me.

Shoulder and hip are feeling sore, but bikes going to need a few pennies. I have already sourced parts, but the fairings will need a re spray. As I am new to the area, does any ones have any recommendations?

Many thanks, Rich

Sorry to learn you've had an 'off' but glad you and the GPZ only need a bit of TLC.

Bike-wise, there used to be a SWB member who could be called on for good spray jobs apparently but it was a while ago and I've forgotten who. If no-one steps up, give Simon (billinom8s) a ring, he'll know someone - 07977507395.

That was Lee. Not sure if he's still doing bike spraying. As you say Phil, Simon will know....

gee46 was the guy we all used for spraying but i don't think he does it any more, seems to be doing mainly trucks and planes now.

i usedd cannon autobodies in Bovey Tracey when i had my R1 done, very good work.

Thanks billinom8s will give them a call once I get the new plastics delivered. Feeling a bit bruised, but pleased it was a low speed wipe out, but still going to cost a few ££ to get fixed as ordered, indicators, wing mirror, brake lever, exhaust belly pan and side panels. It soon adds up.

At least engine, frame and lights are still intact. Tank all good?

Lloyds refinishers near the ski lodge in Plymouth do repairs to fairings and if you buy the decals they fit them too.
