An alternative may be to buy a set of cheap covers for both sides and install them..  This will not only completely hide the damage but protect against more if you drop it again...

Yes for sure, thanks for the advice ! I’ m looking for some protection which are not too big (I don’t really like crash bars)

The Black Pearl is da one!  The paint is a lot cheaper at Auto Zone if I remember right.

 

Thanks ! Unfortunately there is no « AutoZone » in France ^^ but There is a VHT seller who get the black pearl for 25$ (maybe expansive but the paint defect on my engine makes my so sad 😂) 

Thanks everyone ✌🏼

I got around to painting this last night.  Hasn't been good enough lighting conditions to take a worthwhile picture though.  I'll try to get one uploaded at some point.

The VHT paint is both a little glossier and more metallic than the stock paint, but it's still a pretty close match.  It blends with the stock paint pretty nicely.  So I sprayed heavier on the bottom of the cover where the scratches were and pulled away as I moved to the top.  Won't look perfect by any means, but I think it will be a little better than just flat black and it's still less ugly than a bunch of scratches down to bare metal.

 

 

Very interesting ! I would like to do the same, finally what VHT color did you choose? The flat black or the pearl one ? 

Do you have a picture of the painted part?  

thank you 🙏🏻 

Hi everyone ! 
I just bought my tracer 900, very happy with it! 
My last bike was a 400 DRZ.
