Dropped it :(

[MiniMac]

Had chained the bike up, decided to roll it forward slightly, side stand must have not been fully down, was just lubing chain up, bike went over like a sack of spuds.

Currently trying to glue my left wingmirror back together until I can get a new one. However, where the 2 screws go through the front cone, I think the mounting behind has been pulled out of position, as one 'hole where the screw goes into' is sticking out and there's a gap between the screen and the fairing now, about 1-2mm

Snapped gear peg too, but I've got a 'fixerpeg' on atm. Bent bar ends and snapped end off clutch lever.

Lots of tiny crack lines around there too, I'm gutted.

Any ideas on how much this will set me back?

Damn bad luck MiniMac.

You can't believe how much damage can be done on such a light impact.

Curvy or pointy?

Pointy, silver, K3.

A true n00b mistake though, only passed A2 a few days ago.
I'm highly ****ed off about it, will be saving the pennies this month to pay for new bits.

Also, can the pillion grab handle be removed without leaving big holes? As mine is a bit flaky on the paint side, would like to get it resprayed.

Yes, but, you need to buy a seat cowel and blanking plates.

Sorry to hear bout the drop.

that little gap between the screen and the fairing is classic of the front subfame just having had a little dink, kwaks is the same on his thou but i think baph has sorted him out with another, u could always try tweeking it back into position but its not easy.

i dropped mine the other week outside my flat, thank god i had the DHM bungs on the side all i had to replace was the indicators. I know how it feels though mate to see it heading to the ground

Jesus, is this a big job? How much is a new subframe? Or how would I go about tweaking it back in?

T

try taking the screen off and the mirrors loosening the fairing, getting a pole big enough to go over the frame and...wait for it... Gently tweek it back into position and re assemble will be a trial and error job though

easy done mate! its ok to make mistakes just learn by them

I did it a couple of weeks ago too mate, happens, not even crash bungs saved my fairing lowers though, gutted!
