Crashed My Buell

[bronjeremy]

I had crashed my bike 2 weeks ago. I am finally out of the hospital and my girlfriends dad is fixing it while I am stuck doing nothing. Is there a thread for special things to look for that could have gotten damaged that are important. The bike is not totaled so far just foot pegs, blinkers, front faring, and right handle bar and throttle misters.

Thanks

Been there done that. GL putting it back together.

I didn't take the pictures of it, and it says they are too large to load... i laid it down doing a bout 80+ mph into the ditch... i kept it in control and put it down off the pavement but it has been driven and seems fine so i must have gotten pretty lucky!

Use photobucket to upload pics.

But it always helps if you include a picture

Fork tubes and handlebars... If left side somehow see if tranny is messed up... Right side worry about header and motor head...

 

[bronjeremy]

header will probably need to be replaced its is severely damaged. unless i remove the dents and re-wrap it so it doesn't matter what it looks like cosmetically. I will post pictures tomorrow... and front rim is very beat up... does anyone recommend where to get a wheel and what rotor to purchase??

I will tell you all this information if you tell me where I can meet a girl whose father will fix my bike WHEN I crash it...

I have a brand new clip on for sell if you havent bought one yet!

not to steal but is it for an 1125r?

 

[bronjeremy]

Loki I do need a right side clip on as long as its the stock replacement one! or a set of both clip ons???

and here are links to the pictures that were taken of my bike shortly after the accident

That's sucks but most important is your still around

 

[Loki]

It is the stock one.

Check your header studs. Depending on how hard it was hit, the energy will be transfered to the mounting points. Besides on here check Buellsterparts.com for what you need. They are cool guys and true Buellers. They have always done me right.
