As long as it's only surface scratches, you can use body filler.

Me and BIL rode from Air Asault headquarters in Colchester to Wellington Barracks in London with Richard III

We were in convoy with three police motorcyclew escorting us.

We rode in to Wellington Barracks and the Brigadier was played in by a Guards Band.

Fantastic day and a privilege to have been allowed to participate in a small part of this fund raising and awareness event.

Cleared the fuel tank drain. Again. Bet there is water in there now, but you can't empty the tank short of turning it upside down.

Wrong-sized number plates are asking for trouble. But if you must then the best bet is 5.5x7, which retains OE proportions and at first glance isn't noticeable.

It's a completely new bar clamp that fits together on the original fork clamp. Raises about 40mm but unlike turning the bars upside down, doesn't leave your wrists at a slightly awkward angle. Also should allow use of the locating pin rather than having to guess where the centre is! £120 from the maker on eBay UK, a set went on here recently for £60 and another on eBay UK for £60. I do love when sellers don't know what they have!
