Fairing repairs and painting

[AustinW]

My son’s beautiful Triumph Daytona 955 got blown over in yesterday’s strong winds. Cracked and scratched the fairing along with a bent brake lever and bust indicator. Lever and indicator easily available and fixed. But the fairing….? He’s based in Keswick Cumbria.

I’ve not inspected it so don’t know how it comes apart, if it’s a panel or two that need repair or the whole lot.

Question is does anyone know of ir can better still recommend someone who can fix the crack and paint it. Hopefully up north somewhere handyish for him (and me as I’ll get roped)

He’s just sent me these pics…

I once priced up 3 quotes on a cracked panel FJR, they all came up quite a bit over £120 some plus paint and then Vat.
Got a new one from Yamaha for £98
Check all options...

Son says Daytona parts are getting harder & harder to find. Nothing in the used Market he reckons. But yeah, you never know direct from Triumph

I read dream machine has stopped trading as the bloke retired.
But the link to the website seems active So might be ok .

 

[OMG!!]

Bike paints, Cupar in Scotland whom I used often, have stopped, due to owner untimely passing.
Was not aware of any issue with Dream machine. Thank you for heads up ^rovert57^ Having just checked, seems they have stopped operating, guess it's due to today's workplace climate, and age.

Closest to Cumbria are:- RPM. Maybe best check if they are still active. Good Luck AustinW
