When I went to the Dragon Rally this year I managed to get in and out of the site without a problem, except that a fellow camper "helped" me get the bike backwards from where it was parked up to the track, which involved traversing some deep mud.
Despite my shouting "don't push on the fairing" he gave it a good shove from the nose. I think it has slightly bent the metal mounting frame, evidenced by this little wrinkle by the right hand fixing to the tank:
Every time I take the fairing apart I worry it will break somehow and won't go back together at all. Nevertheless I think I have to remediate this wrinkle and crack before the bike goes anywhere bumpy. I don't commute to the office more than about once every couple of months so it can stay in the garage and wait for warmer weather but I still think this needs doing at some point in the not too distant future.
My current worries include "will it go back on if I take it off" and "how to find any slight bend to the fairing frame" as well as "how to bend it back to exactly the right shape."
Any suggestions gratefully received
