Default Crashed Curvy.

:/ yep as title says came off the bike at a roundabout on sunday in the wet. hit a white marker on the road, back end came away and off to the side i went, was gutted. From what i can see apart from the fairings, clutch lever and rearset is snapped, so anyone know where i can pick one up at a reasonable price?. heres some pics, let me know if you can see anything else you recommend sorting, thanks hugh

so how my baby did look


after the off





and how she looks today after i stripped her




sorry for the pictures being so big

Sorry to hear about your off. glad you're ok though!
Look at it as a chance to add some shiney new bits to your bike, it'll be even better than before.
Ebay should be a good place to start for bits, or the wanted section on here.

yeah, some sore ribs and stiff back, but nothing major. Yeah i was thinking that now that its off the road may aswell get me some new parts and give it a good clean/service in time for some warm weather and good runs. Think its running a little rich, strong smell of petrol when idle and sometimes cuts out when idle, so maybe clean the carbs whilst shes just sitting there

Sorry to hear about the crash mate. Obviously some new bar ends are necessary. Looks like the old ones did the job. Also consider swingarm bobbins.

Check the front forks, particularly the left one as they get cracked quite easily. Even if it's a hairline crack it can be dangerous as you never know if/when it might fail. Best to loosen the forks and check all along the length of them cause they tend to crack above or below the triple clamps and are thus not easily visible.

I reckon you've come out of it Ok for your first crash. You'll learn a lot from it. Good luck mate.
