Went down pretty hard yesterday. Snapped the entire front end off and damaged the read tail a bit. bike scorpioned and i went over, bike landed on top of me.

So heres what I need.

Front fairing mount
Front Fork assembly
Triple tree (top and bottom)
rear tail light and mount
underside tail fairing
front brake rotor
front wheel
gauge cluster

ETC


If anyone has parts please let me know. The steering bearings went bad and failed. IM PISSED! The buell may have won this round, but I don't wanna give up! please, someone help me get her back to riding!
 
How are you doing? That sounds painful. Post up some pics when you get a chance. Sorry I dont have any parts left to help you out, Ive sold and/or given most of mine away
 
Thank goodness your ok man! Hopefully everything's ok, good luck with the re-build!
 
There ya go a whole front end if you buy from me and kbfnail...


My upper is even freshly powder coated black
 
The neck bearings clicked maybe once or twice at low speeds, I said to myself thats no good. I was 1 1/2 hours from home. If anyone is from NY they would most likely know 44/55 by Ellenville. The beginning of the road is rough and weird pavement until you get to the top. It was a terrible scorpion but I'm walking and can't wait to get her back on the road.

I snapped the upper triple tree off the tank. Bottom tree and stem are garbage too. Dent in my front wheel, and the fairing mount snapped like a twig.

Im guessing my forks are bent (I just invested 7 hours of labor into the seals 3 days prior to the wreck)

the Bike must have landed on its tail after hitting me, rear brake light is shattered. Ill attach pics in a bit. Time to take some muscle relaxers and drink a beer to loosen up!

Thank you all for the concern, I love this forum for that reason. People actually like to help!
 
Thanks,

I just found a complete front end setup for 300 on ebay. It doesnt include the top Tree or fairing mount so I will still need those. Pics coming soon.
 
Okay here they are. Finally got enough strength to hold a damn Iphone to take pictures.

It doesn't seem as bad as the other day. I'll let you guys decide

i might as well check the plugs and do the wires while im breaking it down right? the bike likes to burp when cold, and idles rougher than my buddies xb9 and xb12.

If theres anything I can tweak please let me know.
 
the fairing stay can be repaired, has been done by another forum member, can't find his thread...search function really sucks
 
hi.....................good to see you posting here.........you walked away that's the most important thing....................In my humble opinion this type of damage to the fairing stay can not be fixed.................... don't try to weld this stuff..........this is a magnesium aloy.........
