Time to go naked?

You can plastic weld all that. Doesn't look like the fairing stay is bent, just looks like the upper got pushed past it.

Frame sliders my friend, could have saved you some of that fairing damage.

I agree with trip though, you should be able to plastic weld it all.

I don't think its bad enough to ditch the upper totally. I like it anyways and really its not that noticeable, the camera flash tends to show all imperfections.

where can I get plastic welding done?

I started using it sometimes... but realized it didn't do much, especially compared to the kick ass front.
Still tap it to flash the brake light, but that's about it.
