crash pics....not so bad
crash pics....not so bad
To my surprize the bike got off very easy....
headlamp-shattered
headlight trim ring- bent/ruined
headlight bucket cracked/busted/mounting ears bent
handlebars finished
left handle control unit cracked
clutch perch cracked
right hand control unit cracked
front brake lever bent
ignition cover scratched/dohc sticker ripped off
tank dented (biggest bummer)
right footpeg rubbers got roughed up a bit
megaphone end got dented and #2 header pipe smashed a bit
Not bad at all....not sure how the specific damage happened, on the moment of impact with he guardrail everything sort of went blank.
Bike starts and idles fine, I could actually get on and ride it. (handlebars are a bit crazy tho)
The forks/trees seem fine, no visible bends, cracks, paint blistering.
Will be on the hunt for most of the above mentioned parts.
I already found a tank from a forum member....now the task of matching paint or repainting everything

I just got back from a ride with my eldest Son and am busy down-loading pictures and video's.
Just happened upon this thread.
Complete headlight assembly, check.
Handlebar, check.
Tank, check.
Ign. cover, check.
Everything else, check.
Even have another megaphone, check.
:-$
How about that incredibly well stocked salvage yard that Old_Skool visits?

Better add: case guards. I know I insisted on those for all my GS' and other bikes too.
Best of luck!

Went to a junkyard today.....
got a nice nissin 5/8 master cylinder/perch/lever and matching clutch perch/lever(adjustable levers) from an older Ninja and a good tested shindengen R/R(cause one can never have to many)
have some superbike bars.
gettin there. It about killed me to turn a few wrenches and get those parts, my arm is hurtin, go to doc on thursday for a checkup and to see if he will cut this cast down or not.
Sure would be nice to bend my elbow.
I know I will be able to get back on the bike this fall and get a few miles in before the snow flies

Getting my cast off my arm this afternoon.
Its been a month and a week since my accident, my time home has mostly been wasted as I had a hard time doing much of anything with my arm all mummied up with epoxied fiberglass.
...dont get me wrong, I went riding a few times in the last week or so, just short bops around town or a smooth country road but only until this last week was I able to really do much that required dexterity.
I am sure I will be off work another week or so. The other night I managed to get the carbs out of new 650, disassemble them and dip. I found the right container to dip two bodies at once so that is a big time saver. Will be reassembling them tonight/tomorrow. ha ha good stuff.

I have some of those same bar end mirrors kicking around somewhere if you need some spare parts... I've had 2 sets over time so should have enough parts around to fix yours.
Just let me know what bits you need & I'll stick them in the post.

Here are the mirrors as mounted sitting on bike.
The left is still complete and functional. On the right one, the main body/bracket part is fine aside from light scratches, only the mirror itself, including the mirror arm and ball on the end (all one unit) is broken. The ball and screw are still in the bracket but broken, and the mirror is still in the ditch somewhere I guess. ha ha
Thanks for lookin out for me, let me know what you come up with.

Fairly sure that same thing happened to one from my first set in a garage tipover... hopefully I kept the other one. Will let you know
One in the post for you... Your brackets were in as good shape as mine so I just shipped the Mirror I had

Sincere thanks Dan. I figured I would say that now in case I dont wake up tomorrowOne in the post for you... Your brackets were in as good shape as mine so I just shipped the Mirror I had
...turns out yesterday at the doctor when they removed my cast and did a final x ray, he was not happy how my arm (radius) set so he sent me to see a specialist this morning. And he said......10a.m. surgery TOMORROW
gotta get a plate in the bone.
not worried a bit, but I will be missing work another month.Sheesh, life happens fast.
I will put the mirror on the coffee table and admire it for a while
