Flip you bike, hidden damage.
 

It's been said after my bike flip, the bike 'Helga' got off rather lightly. Well it appears I found a little bit of hidden damage...

As you can see, even the bottom right mounting lug has snapped off. So now Helga is wearing Anastasia's headlights while these ones get repaired.

Let me see...

Screen, no.
Foot pegs, no.
Rear caliper, no.
Clutch basket, no.
Rider seat, no.
Front wheel, no.
Starter motor, no.
Start Relay, no.
Handguards, yep, no.

But at least he gave Helga a softish landing by doing the decent thing by laying under her!

That plastic welds nicely at least. I ended up having to use big chunks of an old fairing panel to fill some gaps though, so it looks horrific. Keep the heat down mind, it doesn't like getting too hot, goes brittle.
