Have been keeping an eye mate.

States this is good and straight. Just a bit of rust
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

Up to you buddy.

Ebay is often a bit of a gamble. States that it is straight so if not return it.

Hope it works out

That's assuming your fairing isn't bent.

Left-wing blue ones, they lean in a particular direction, and right-wing red ones are just as difficult.
And you can't mention black ones, so I won't.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Looks like that ones had a knock and been straightened. Not too bad though, similar to mine after knocking it back into place.

yup lhs in the picture is a tad wobbly and for that reason I wouldn't pay what they're asking for it... :thumbdown:

The one StormyRob had in his post didn't look brill in the picture but it was very good, it's now on the bike and looks straight, although i haven't put the fairing back on yet i think it's fine, when i looked across the old one you could tell it was bent, thanks all.

I'm very glad that helped mate. Sometimes eBay can be a gamble but thankfully this time it paid off.
