    If its a small scratch then just touch it in with the correct colour, any thing bigger is more involved as it would involve textured primer and spraying.

    yep I know the feeling :-(. Same happened to me on a Gixxer with an Abba Stand. They are good piece of kit but you need to absolutely ensure they are a snug fit and no movements at all. As Darkman said it's a bit of a work on deep scratches. I don't think a touch up pen will cut that scratch. Sorry buddy. I hope you get it sorted.

    If you can get a textured finish aerosol paint from bikepaints to match the frame colour then its going to make a better job than just touching it in. Because the frame has some sharp angles you can use masking tape to form soft edges on them for a better finish.

    update i found these on r&g website after ebay seller says no longer in stock ordered them today total of just over £24 inc vat and delivery,may still paint the scrape will ask bikepaints first if paint is textured as colour match may be great but i dont know if the slightly textured effect would be replicated, have any good folks on here have painted/touched up the frame before and what did you use.
