[Renegade]

came off it on the way to work this mornin at 30 mph,

heres the pics:















it jus slid from underneath me on a slight corner, felt like i had no grip what so ever

[greengoblin]

Wow, not good.

Hope you're alright, bikes are expensive, but they fix!!

I've always found it hard to get parts in that colour too.... (not what you want to hear I'm sure)

Are you fully-comp?

[masterofinsanity]

i'd say your speedo is fecked looking at the damage its done at 30mph bad luck chap, thats some damage there! what can was that?

[rene]

^^^

think everyone told him that on another fourm as well lol

[Rob636]

yes it was very wet n slippery this morning, masters you know where force 3 is opposite the old wire factory you worked for, there were lots of deisel down that road, taking it easy was an understatement,

and to the guy who dropped his bike, dont dispear im sure you can fix your in the right place, write down your damage and call the kawasaki breakers, Bartons is one of them, just google bartons of bath, if you cant find it let us know,

Yea defo bad luck im always wary of the roads when it rains after a long dry spell. still, althoe that looks bad its things you could win from e bay not cost massive ampunts first duct tape the old mirror on if it aint bost that will last for a couple of wks put old exhaust on see if u can salvage the clip for a couple of weeks to then get it all from e bay jobs a good un, al least the forks an wheels etc are ok

[deviant]

i'd be worried about the swingarm though!

bad luck mate.

[Rob636]

a low side at 30 mph, the swingarm should be fine same as the forks unless he hit somat solid which stopped the bike, but if the bike slid, then its only mostly superficial stuff, get on ebay and barton breakers your soon start finding what you need, maybe buy yourself a new exhaust end can, scorpion make a luvly end can lol, bought one for my old 400 and for my current bike 636,

rob. look at the photo which has the swingarm and exhaust in.

look at the f*** off big dent in it.

consider my comment in the light of that photo.

TBH the plastics you can sort, no real issue there. Soldering iron, plastic bars and sandpaper. Then re-paint.

New mirror £20 ..

The footrest hangers are designed to break.

I have broken one wheeling the bike out of the garage - they're made of soft cheese.

Again £10-20 on ebay.

The can you can fix, just stubby it and use a rivet gun to re-attach the end.

The swingarm will likely be fine, but if not you can pick one up off ebay or from a breaker for £40.

I got my H2 swingarm (non braced) for a whopping 99p off ebay.

A weekend's work ..

Chin up!

It would be a write off if you claimed tho ..

Up to you init.

I'd write it off as a cat D and then fix it or break it.

[Caz]

ouch, that's a helluva lotta damage for a 30mph off!

Is it the photo, or do you have a dent in your swing arm?

mirror/hangers/plastics - all easy to repair/replace - shouldnt take too long at all to have you back on the road.


Invest in some R&G crash protectors - they'd have saved most of the damage there. I learnt the hard way and fitted them after I had thrown it down teh road!

[RedexRobB]

Hmm, is that the forks or the frame thats buggered?

Unlucky mate, have a look at it in the morning and it wont be so bad! Get it in the shed, strip and see whats to do.

[hciR]

toad luck mate. amazing how low speed crashes can be just as bad as high speed ones. Hope you get the bike sorted.

[Renegade]

the frame has a dent in is aswell as the swinger, which is why the front wheel is so close to the fairing, is it worth getting the frame straightened? or jus sell it for cheap on ebay..

heres the replacement for now anyway...





will be fun in this weather, jus gotta find some street tyres to put on it now

[gubbs]

You can buy a new frame/sub frame and log book for £75 off ebay.

There's a guy who sells nothing but.
