Sorry I don't know any breakers round your area, but eBay always has bits and pieces on it. Might be worth a look there. Other than that just Google or and try to find someone local.
Hope youfeel better son mate.

*Wonders if he'd take £50 for it as salvage?*

I've got a few more places on my PC at home. I'll post 'em up for you later tonight. Mostly salvage yards and damaged repairables, but worth a look/ask.

Message here for you from hubby:-
Look in MCN, look for PartFinders, and if you phone them up and tell them what u require, they email 50 breakers with yr requirements, and those breakers phone you back with a price. The call is a bit dearer that the standard rate, but worth it.
Hope this helps...

Tevo mate,
Hope your OK and on the mend as I know what it feels like to come off at 110mph, just hope it wasn't a high side crash? Otherwise your bike could be a gonna due to the frame usally gets distored when it lands from flipping. If it was then I suggest you strip it completly to just the wheels, forks, frame, engine and swing arm (no need for the tank) and let the experts with lassers tell you.
On an other note how bad is the damage mate?
Is it just cosmetic or worse like forks / frame?
The reason I say this is most of your fairing can be mended not by duck tape (like us race boys), but you can have it welded and resprayed, which will cost you a lot less than buying a panel / panels from breakers. It is usally £50 to £100 a panel up here in NW but you will have to shop around.
Also forks can be mended. You will only have problems with the frame because its aluminium alloy and if thats distorted then you will have to buy another frame usally it will be a new part as most bike crashes are front enders that breakers get. So the headstock is usally cracked or bent on the frame.
For my parts for racing or if I have a spill then I use partfinder as they do the leg work for you and find the cheapest parts address below
Hope it helps you mate and that you get better quick
Regards
Mark

Bad luck on that mate.
Mallory is a great track though. You could also try the FreeAds paper, or any racer types getting rid of there street plastics for race plastics.
Better still, rip the plastics off, check the frames straight, and get an R1 engine to fit in it. Fit some straight bars and your Streetfighter fun starts

Try the above suggestions and try Streetfighters magazine ( from all good shops, etc ), and take a look in the ads at the back - remember, you don't have to 'fight it in the trad "nekkid" style.
Also think about finding fairings that fit the R6 outside the UK ( sharkskinz sping to mind ) - and I don't know where I am going with this, I think others have a clearer idea than me!

Devon you said " Mallory is a great track though. "
You must be joking !!!! :shock: Its just pull and go and not that technical. The best track in the UK has to be Cadwell which is closely followed by Oulton as both are very technical and bike set up is critical.
Cheers

well firstly thanx to everyones's suggestions about place to look. i had already tried most breakers,e-bay and mcn aswell as bike trader but a few of u have given me some great info which has led me to hopefully getting my bike back on the road in 2 to 3 weeks times. all the panels are being repaired/re-sprayed as we speak, just require a headlight unit and i'm back up and running again. as for me, i'm well on the way to fully fitness and hoping to be able to make cadwell on 29th aug for BSB. started physio today so i'm back ready to play again aswell, so alls well that ends well.
thanx alot to all members who offered me help
