Hi guys thanks for the add just got myself an 07 GT absolutely love the power and handling. The bike has 43000 miles so has some cosmetic problems I'd like to address. On the fairing just in front of your knees and shins I have some lacquer peeli was thinking maybe a piece of glossy black faux carbon could be cut and placed over this area. Just wondering if there are any protective stickers available for the bike so I wouldn't need to cut it. Hope you know what I mean .I will try and post a picture later I'm not great at these computers so my son will put a picture up for me. Thanks in advance

Hi guy's hopefully this photo shows the area I mean, just looking for some kind of black or carbon look to cover this area in front of where the knee and shin naturally sits.

I don't think you should try to cover it up. Instead, I think you should take that panel to a good body shop and have it resprayed. The bike deserves it.

Appreciate what your saying Felix and ultimate that's what I'd like to do, however that's going to be expensive and I haven't the spare funds at this time,that's why I'm looking for a temporary cover job until I'm in the position to address the job properly

If you cover it up, you'll forget about it and buy a new home stereo or something. Leave it to remind and nag at you to get it done.

I agree with Felix but if funds are an issue, go to a company that does vehicle wraps. You can get look-alike carbon-fibre material to cover the problem. You may even be able to match the colour with wrap materials since some shops have the ability to match colour and print it for you. You'll need to prepare underneath really well, however, since imperfections will telegraph through.

Try visiting ColorRite.com. I have not used them myself, but have heard from others that their products are perfect matches to factory paint. Once I get my 2005 K1200S running, I plan to get a kit from them to fix all the road rash.

Thanks Corkboy that's the closest to what I'm thinking of I'm looking for something to go on the fairing.Was hoping to find rectangular pieces about 150mm X 80mm. Thanks again
