My apologies if this message should go elsewhere in the forum.
I damaged the Termignoni carbon cans on my bike during a lowside. The damage is to the edge lip of the inlet flange (which was wore open) and to the rivet strap (see photo below). Question: does anyone knows of a repair service that can take care of this type of damage? As the carbon is not damaged, I am hopeful that a good welder could fix the inlet flange outer edge damage.

More pics of the damage. I have an extra rivet strap from Arrow that should fit and looks the same. I bought two but only needed one. You can have it if you want just pay for shipping. You can get the SS rivets at a marine store.

Hi mookieo2,
I will post more
damage photos once I get the bike back for Ducati tomorrow. The quote was for $6125 so I will have to use other means because the replacement value of the bike is less than that.
Your offer for the rivet strap is super kind but I think that I would be better off if you gave me the name of
the supplier as I need two of them (yes, I have identical damage on both cans - please don't ask).
But as in any fight, it is fair to ask what the other guy looked like after. Here is a photo of "him" in the "white & blue"
Thanks, Pedro

I got the strap from Arrow special parts USA $10ea. Call Greg @ Arrow... 702-651-6940. While their apart you may want to shorten them a little to end with your bike.
Looks like a little target fixation. I know your pain. Glad your ok.
I've got s similiar issue. My left Termi can has some slight road rash, the rivets on the bottom broke loose, and the cab at the bottom, the oval, is slightly bent. Any way to have the can reshaped into place? I have access to a rivet gun, as the strap isn't broken, just popped lose. My brother-in-law who works at a local power sports shop say to use a rubber mallet, and gently bang it back in to shape, which kinda scares me. I was wondering if a muffler shop maybe has a tool or machine to reconform it back into shape a bit.
