****ing cagers!
I'm on a road about to turn right to approach a roundabout, this means I have to cross over a lane of traffic coming the other way, a guy from the right turns left onto the road i'm about to turn onto without indicating I jam on my brakes and down I go! Will upload the video later.....
Looks like my indicators punched a hole through my fairings and that's it for damage, I managed to kinda grab it but down it went.

I'm all right thanks, a little shook up, i'll have to wait till morning to see the damage, I think i've gotten away with just braking the right fairing, I just watched the video, the guy indicated but he's going way too fast if I hadn't have braked it would have been a close one, the dick-head didn't even stop to see if I was all right.

If the hole isn't that big you canjust put a flush mount over it. Stock turnsignals always do that I ****ing hate them their ugly anyways so I took em off. I got mine of eBay for 12$ someone here sells them for 60 with the diode cable thingyy. Or you can just get the diode thingy from him for 15$ and ebday ones

I think the damage is all superficial, over the weekend I shall get some more epoxy and I will fibreglass the inside of the crack nice and strong so structurally it'll be sound.

There is a DIY on here somewhere that shows using the stock stuff to make flushmounts. I have been looking for it for 3 days. Anyone got it? Could be useful for him as well as me.
thanks....
