    I once read somewhere that one could remove the white stress/fatigue marks in the bikes plastic panels and guards (caused by crashing etc) , by applying moderate heat with a heat gun in a whofting motion.

    Have any of you seasoned riders ever heard of this, or even better still, tried this technique with any varying degrees of success?

    TB. Thanks for that. Looks like I might be paying a visit to the neighbour to see if he has a heat gun I can borrow :P

    Yeah it works, I have done it on a few bikes. Especially the BRP who had a shocker of a bent front guard.
