Heres where it all started.

you can see in this pic my line started fine, but like i said before, my feeler was scraping (that white line), and through part of the turn I got some bar shake and just lost the front (where the line stopped following the center line).

heres the spot of impact with the rail.

Heres the side that slid. Some MOFO stole my left side slider the first day i was there, and of course thats the side i go down on. The slider body still manged to save some body work w/o the puck though.

aaannd the other side. Much more damage, thanks to that guard rail.

unloading at wheelers

waiting to get in the shop

so thats the bike before it was fixxed up.

the only mechanical problems were the front right caliper mount broke, its rotor was warped, and the rear caliper had a leaky seal from taking a hit, the rest was just rash and damage.

Now heres the bike back in the stable.

heres the part of the resevoir that still needs fixxed, not sure why its leaking at that nipple looking thing... i'm going to take it off and fix it up with some plastic epoxy.

the fairings i can save for re-painting.

and the front, well, isnt going to make it. Im about to go take it apart and see exactly what i can salvage. the puig screen made it! damn things are like 80 bucks.

and thats up to about right now. Dont really have the money to start buying parts right now, So im gonna have to wait a bit to get it all fixxed up unless i decide to call my insurance company.

dont call insurance, street fighter it or go ebay. I will search around here and see if I can find ya any parts as well, i got some connections...

MikeSP1 · 06-10-2008, 03:28 PM

Sucks bro, but itcould've been a lot worse. I'll keep an eye out for any parts.

PiZdETS · 06-10-2008, 03:35 PM

Word, streetfighter until you can get all the right parts. Check craigslist and all the honda/cbr forums classifieds sections you can manage.

Who the fuck steals sliders? And just one??? Fuckin thieves. Where were you when it got taken?

NONE_too_SOFT · 06-10-2008, 03:57 PM

No idea. prolly at the store or at a gas station.

Trip was asking about it when he showed up thursday morn, thats when we realized it was gone.

Trip · 06-10-2008, 04:04 PM

Awesome, mike joined up. Welcome dude.

JB Weld it back together...good as new!

I would think insurance would end up costing you more in the end

NONE_too_SOFT · 06-10-2008, 05:55 PM

I put the instrument cluster back on, and will have to fasten the left side ram air somehow (its got sensors and shit onit, other wise i'd take it off...

as far as headlights go, i think im gonna drewpy some on with a bungie net... bar end mirror !

yea, ins would drop me anyways, and i need that shit for when i REALLY fuck up.

2 fairings, and some various other parts are all i need. i just dont know how or where to go about finding the "various" nuts, bolts, etc. is there a parts list somewhere i can check out?

if you have a reliable parts person at your local dealer, you can take them a list and they can get it all for you...find the parts numbers etc...

if you want to do it yourself, look up the microfiche and find it that way, then order them yourself as you can...im purty sure OEM would have the exact parts numbers...also, find a salvage yard for motorcycles...there are a few around and they often have brand new pieces you can pick up SUPER cheap! thats what i did when i replaced the engine in my RR...lemme see if I can find that salvage yard info...
