Generator cover is this bad?

Not that unusual really, when I was much younger and crazy I trashed 3 in a coupe of years, hard riding two up, it didn't have a centre stand, so the alternator cover was the first thing on the left hand side to scrape the road in a fast left hander. It didn't take long to grind right through the alloy and start leaking oil. I did a quick bodge with plumber's solder and a blowtorch first time, with it still on the bike. Stopped the leak till next time! Don't panic, they are all the same for all the 750s, only difference is the F2 one is painted black. There are plenty of good used ones about, and several places still have new old stock ones around £100-150.

Have to agree,a replacement cover is the way to go,looks like the filler is starting to fail.
Probably more bother than it is worth trying to repair it.
Trigger:
Normal on the 750 to find this damage.

Yep thought as much. Ahh well. Anyone got a good one knocking about.
eBay night again.
Trigger:
Can't understand why there is oil in the case. Looks like the seal has gone.

Trigger there was quite a bit in it and I drained the oil months ago. Which seal do I need to replace and is it a big job?
Thanks to this forum I've got a replacement cover on its way.
