Trusted metal works/crash repairs?
Lads, I've had a mare. I was parked up on an elevated concrete slab at a viewing spot on a spin across to Wales not so long ago. I was 90% ready to leave and I rushed my exist as I could see 2 bikers pulling in and see them realise in real time that where I parked would have been ideal for their two bikes also. In my rush I misjudged the height different between the slab and the gravel carpark and as I was dropping down pinched/heavily dragged/battered my titanium header on the corner of the curb. Upon closer inspection - the impact has also cracked the affected section. My heart is broken looking at the damage and the bike deserves atleast repair. I've put over 130,000km on the bike and am fine with cut and fix repairs as opposed to needing everything be perfect for a magazine cover page.
Additional details: •Based in Dublin. Ideally don't have to leave Leinster as getting back home will be tough logistically •It's a full Akra system and I can't get second hand headers. •it's a full Akra system and still looking at 3.5k for a replacement despite it being a 2014 (1290 SDR) so good luck to that purchase, again.
Thanks in advance for recommendations and guidance!
