Fitted some new grips today but managed to spurt superglue over the fairing!!!!  Any tips on best way to get it off? |

However you get it off, chances are, it will leave a mark. Superglue has a habit of melting the surface of plastic (assuming it's a plastic coated fairing)and taking the shine off.
If it's not somewhere that's really conspicuous, it might be better to just leave it there, unless someone comes up with a sure-fire way of getting rid of it without making the splash site look worse afterwards.

Mysteriously....PM Lee...he may be a Tight tw*t...but he will have a way of doing it...or failing that Google it mate  |

Put a Teesside Bikers sticker over the damaged area I did a similar thing with a small ding on a car I had. The nagging trouble with that is you always know it's there.  |

I have made the same thing before
Covered whole fairing before fitting, finished nice and tidy, took the cover off ... and after few minutes noticed few drops of the glue.
Left it there as it wasn't too big (or I could make it a lot worse)

I've always fitted my grips by putting some petrol into it 1st, slides on easy and when the petrol vaps off its sticks well too.
