Damn bike fell over. Now what? - ducati.org forum | the home for ducati owners and enthusiasts

It's kind of high up, but it could have been a Miata door, there strong.

Sucks that it happened, but at least it was a fender and not a door or quarter panel, that would have been much worst to get fixed.

Man that sucks. I'm sorry it happened to you.

Replace em with aftermarket if its carbon fiber no need paint

I see an opportunity to purchase aftermarket fenders. What ever the body shop is going to charge for the OEM fender can be applied to the new set, if you want to go that route.

Good luck.

You are gonna get one chance to find a good PDR person to do this, access fortunately behind this area is good. Should come out as good as new.

Unfortunate that so many people are so disrespectful of other people's property. Was probably a rust bucket car with a clueless driver. Hopefully you get a good PDR guy to do it right the first time like Limey said. Hopefully being that close to a body line won't be a problem. Sorry to see this.

Dent Wizzard !! it will likely pop out with a little manipulation...see them do it all the time..it is also a cheap try before you dole out $$$ replacing body panels and painting.

Expect the bill to be 100-175 just because of the size and location.
