Depressed! Can you help?
hi all,
I'm depressed today. On my way to work I came off my SV (K6 S) when my front wheel skidded on what looks like a car mud-flap that was on the road at a junction. At low speed and no other traffic involved - thankfully I could drive away from it with my gear ensuring I've no real bruises! It was a reminder that I can't be complacent at any stage. Looking at the road is as important as looking through the junction! I came down on my left side, initially it looks like I need to replace the following: * Front Left turn-signal body (lens looks ok and bulb still working!) * Left mirror has snapped off but its just the bar that needs replacing * Left lower faring is scratched and cracked - Napolean Candy blue (Code YHJ) * The faring bracket had a cheap crash bobbin on it, it gave way and looks like the bracket needs replacing Anyone out there able to help? I'm in Dublin, Ireland... Cheers, Darran. PS: while I wrote this I got an email reminder that my road tax is due at the end of the month - I feel like asking them if they charge extra for debris! |

And s set of R&G crash bobbins, with the aluminium billet support.
The fairing bracket is just that, will never support the weight of the bike. I too had to have an off, before I realised just bolting a bobbin onto the bracket, doesn't doo much good. Sorry to hear about your off, bl**dy bad luck that

Re: Depressed! Can you help?
I've got an indicator which you can have, just cover the postage? Say £3?
