It's the first thing I've 'fixed', only the rest of the bike to go now.
I've also decided to attempt a repair on the tank badges and side panel logos, these were very tatty and I would normally just replace them, however, they are an eye watering £58 per pair for each badge, that's £116 for four bits of plastic.
I have cleaned them and rebuilt the broken piece using parts of a sprue holding a model kit.
This may not work or look convincing when finished as I haven't yet found a decent coating to replicate the chrome but it's worth a try just due to the costs of the replacement parts.
