How It Works

The Scheibner Laser System

The Scheibner laser alignment system we use is one of the most advanced frame measuring systems for motorcycles. It uses a sophisticated array of cameras and lasers to measure specific points on the frame, swingarm and subframe to establish the trueness of the frame.

These measurements are independent of the front end — so even if the forks were damaged during a fall, the integrity of the chassis can still be accurately ascertained. Our frame database has thousands of models and is updated continually as newer models appear.

When You Need It

Three Reasons to Get Checked

01

After an Accident

After a crash, there is always the question of whether the frame and swingarm are still within specifications. Have it measured before repair — it will be very difficult to prove damage after you've taken delivery of a "repaired" vehicle.

  • Establishes pre-repair baseline for insurance
  • Identifies hidden structural damage
  • Required for VIV repairable write-off process

02

Buying a Used Bike

We are able to check that used motorcycle before you part with any of your hard-earned cash on what may very well be a bent bike. A frame check is the smartest pre-purchase inspection you can make.

  • Confirms the frame is straight and safe
  • Identifies undisclosed crash history
  • Certificate gives you negotiating power

03

Selling or Insuring

A Scheibner Chassis Certificate adds credibility when selling, and is required documentation for repairable write-off VIV inspections. We can assist you with navigating the entire VIV process.

  • Accepted by insurers and VIV inspectors
  • Adds value and trust when selling
  • Full VIV navigation assistance available

REPAIRABLE WRITE-OFFS & VIV REQUIREMENTS

There are strict statutory requirements when dealing with a repairable write-off in Victoria. The VIV regulations require that any vehicle where impact damage was assessed must have a structural and body measurement report before it can be re-registered.

"For any vehicle where impact damage was assessed, the inspector will require that you supply a structural and body measurement report, detailing the actual vehicle measurement, and a copy of the manufacturer's specifications for comparison."

— VIV Regulations, Victoria

We provide exactly this documentation with every Scheibner chassis check — a detailed report of actual measurements taken, compared against factory specifications. We are also able to assist you with navigating the full VIV process.

Repair timeframes vary depending on several factors, including parts availability, insurance assessments and the complexity of the damage.

Some repairs may be completed within a week, while others may take longer if specialist parts are required or if the job involves extensive paint or mechanical work.

At Melbourne Motorcycle Fairings, we aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible and are known for having faster turnaround times than the industry average.

For standalone repairs, we can usually prepare a quote within 48 hours once the bike has been inspected.

Yes. In most cases, motorcycle crash repairs are covered by insurance.

How long does motorcycle paint repair take?

However, overall repair time can be affected by parts availability and insurance approvals.

Motorcycle respray costs vary significantly depending on the bike and the complexity of the work.

Factors that influence price include:

  • Number of painted parts
  • Type of paint (solid, metallic, candy, pearl)
  • Graphics or decals
  • Pinstriping
  • Custom designs

For accurate pricing, we recommend sending photos or bringing the bike in for inspection so we can prepare a detailed quote.

At Melbourne Motorcycle Fairings, we use a specialised laser alignment system to measure the geometry of your motorcycle.

This equipment checks whether the frame and key structural points are correctly aligned.

We are currently the only workshop in Victoria using this advanced system.

Every bike undergoes:

  • Every bike undergoes:
  • A full mechanical inspection

If the motorcycle passes these checks, we then proceed with the repair quote.

You will also receive a printed alignment report confirming the results.
