Looks like some repairs have been made. Left it a bit hairy though! You must be a hairdresser! I hate that chopped strand stuff.
Andy, he's got the scoops you talk of in the sides of the fairing. The dirty great hole must be for a headlight, maybe?

I've been doing a bit of fibreglassing to a pair of fairings I've got for the race bikes. I got some woven roving, much better.
Not that I like fibreglassing, or spray-painting. Still, it's done now!
