Fairings!

[katlover]

Had a spill two nights ago. Animal ran out in front of me while I was going 65 MPH. Hit the brakes and didn't know it because it was 12:30am , but there was a few rocks on the road. LUCKILY I was wearing all my gear. Bike slid on the left side cracking open the transmision case, cracked the rear fairing, scuffed the left fairing, and bent the left foot peg.

i rolled about 10 times. I was thinking while I rolled "Am I ever going to stop rolling." Because of the gear I came out with only a sprained left wrist and a descent size gash in my knee, and a sprained thumb. THANKS GOD FOR LEATHER AND HELMETS!!!

Long story short, where is a good place to get these replacement parts. I am not in a hurry. Don't have any money right now. Have to wait for my school loan. Thanks for everyones help. Have fun and Ride safe.

Good on ya for wearing gear! Makes you a believer, huh?

So nice to hear you are ok, gear definitely helps. Heal up and get riding again, go aftermarket side covers, like NRC or Vance and Hines covers.

Hey , gear is good , eh ?
You wanna fix it , or you wanna replace the broken parts ? :-k I like JB Kwik , duct tape , and wire ties . A mallet might fix that bent peg , JB is GREAT for repairing damaged covers ( I have repairs that have lasted a couple years) , and duct tape/super glue keeps cracked fairings from cracking MORE . May look crappy , but it'll be ridable ! And yes , I AM being serious . See my ride profile if you doubt me ...

What is JB Kwik? Is it like glue? The transmision casing is broke. It is like a chunk of it is gone. About 30% of the round casing is missing.

Ah , well then you might need to shop around for one . Special K can hook you up for sure . JB Kwik (or JB Weld) is basically epoxy for metal . I've used it to repair cracks in engine cases before , and if done right , it'll last a LONG time , if not forever . I carry the stuff with me now . Damage sounds just like my 60 mph crash . I kept the old cover as a reminder . Yeah , that one would be hard to fix . Just PM K .

What brand gear did you have on? I need to get me some of that?

I simply had a leather jacket from Wilson's leather, pretty heavy. Some cheap riding gloves that had leather on the grips and mesh on the top for those hot days and a KBC VR-1 Helmet. Also, just happened to be wearing my steal toe boots. The last thing that I think saved me was a lot of luck!!

[skasner]

so basically as far as riding gear goes... you had a helmet.

it's time to invest in some real riding gear.
