In a word, No

I don’t understand WTF you are trying to do The cylinders won’t be “drilled” they’ll be line bored

Winter green was the stuff to soften the intake rubbers, try it

Most damage is a lot less than you would think, after the initial freakout it doesn’t look too bad and is almost certainly fixable Are you in Vancouver and hence not riding at the moment?

Any photos of the damage?

Good luck with the bike What “fix” do you mean?

Good idea to repaint it, matching silver paint is not easy Think about supporting tabs with a fillet of 1mm ABS

That’s all fixable, get some ABS pipe cement from Home Depot and some acetone Between the two you’ll be able to make a thin glue to chemically weld the broken parts back in place, ABS is 60% styrene which is the binder for the other ingredients A sheet of 1mm ABS sheet is only a few $$ and can be used to repair or reinforce any cracks, missing tabs etc, it’s also useful to play around with the sheet before you touch the fairing Paint X model cement is brilliant for hairline cracks The scratches look like they can be filled with putty, rubbed down and painted

Which panels are damaged and how much? Photos please

Get trading standards involved ASAP If the radiator is like that the bike is a lemon This deals with cars but the rules are the same https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/rejecting-a-car/

This guy is the best person I know when dealing with fuel injection, his use of the oscilloscope is very enlightening

Be aware that the caps supplied new, unless OEM, all have different bolt centres than OEM, only a few millimetres but they don’t fit I got one of these keyless ones and fitted it 180* to the original, that way the original bolt holes are untouched

One of the biggest problems with Honda paintwork is getting the primer colour right, for example R157, Italian Red requires white primer to match the colour

Fowlers in Bristol will have it and no extra postage

The Micron exhaust system is stainless steel and is a tuned unit as well, they were fitted to many bikes when the OEM rotted out I'm running BT22’s on mine, but I’ve got the FK with 17” wheels but it seems Bridgestone do a BT46 in 16&18” GT85 the whole bike for winter protection

No

xtremedecals.com have exactly what you’re looking for Paul is a really helpful guy and will advise you if there’s a query

Welcome to the club

What gear were you in?

You’re not doing it any favours by running the engine at low revs, I usually cruise at around 6,000 rpm

Make sure the paint is thoroughly mixed, I pour boiling water over the bottom of the can to ensure that the pigment is softened up this usually makes the paint flow better from the nozzle

I had a 2013 BMW F800ST, it was always cutting out then there was the CANBUS blight that made me walk away from it I've got an unused belly pan for it somewhere

Sounds reasonable
