Real newb question, but...

Laid her down this weekend in a gravel parking lot, my stupidity. No real damage (except my pride) but scruff-ed up/scratched the fairing, mirror and slider. Is there anything I can do to lessen the the visible 'scars' on the fairing (and anywhere else). Thanks!

I kept my "scars" for 2 years on the bike... Helped remind me of what I did wrong so I wouldn't do it again! Now I have a new side fairing. She is soo beautifull that with that and other things, I am having seconds thoughts of trading her in, and just keeping her - saving up more $ and getting the FJR instead and keeping the 6R as a 2nd bike or play bike.. Sucks too in a way because I REALLY wanted the other bike. But I love the 6R and REALLY think I will miss her if I trade in.

Glad you are ok also! Sorry to hear about the incident, but glad to hear it only happened in a parking lot instead of finding the joys of gravel at road speeds! Be careful, I havent gone down due to it, but even 1 pc of gravel I have gone over before has caused my rear tire to slide out on me. It definately reminds you from time to time to really slow down on some corners and look VERY carefuly and plan your whole route through a turn (be it a higher speed corner or turning at a cross road..
