My fairing panel got shattered by a deer, three weeks ago. I’m fine. I bought a replacement panel on eBay in pretty good condition but a few blemishes. There’s a crack in the oval cutout that sits over the cylinder head and exhaust header. It looks like it got a little heat because the area where it is cracked is bowed down slightly. Don't know if the material has changed over the years, bike is an R1100RT.
Before I try to repair the crack, I was going to try to get the bowed ends back closer to horizontal. If I apply a little heat to the area will the material soften so it can be pulled back or will it just get brittle? Or is the best approach to just leave it as is?
