I crashed :(

Took a bimble towards the coast with injury_ian and crashed just past Goodwood!



After a left hander I was in the wrong place for an immediate right. I scrubbed off some speed but it didn't seem like enough and then I target fixated on the mud off the road. I probably should have committed to the corner at that point but I've never had much confidence with the front end in the damp and so off I went!



Gear did its job and it was quite a slow off thankfully.



So just how much will it cost to convert the front end to a naked bike? Or is a new nose cheaper? Light cluster is fine.

Cheers.

bad luck m8.

if the light cluster is fine then it's going to be cheaper. but most times even the slightest knock breaks the mounting tabs on the light cluster.

all in all the bike looks not to bad.

Ah noooo! It's not that long since you made it pretty after Rockingham, IIRC?

Glad you're OK and still able to recognise a good photo opp.

Man, it must suck to know you probably could've taken the corner. Hindsight is a bee-hatch! At least it was a fairly minor one and glad you're ok dude!

Sorry to read this one, hope that you can get it fixed soon.

Bad news but I suppose if you must fall off then slow, wet and muddy is probably the way to go.

Bike should fix up OK. At least you're OK and you know what went wrong - so you don't need to do it again.

I've been out on my drz today, roads were incredibly muddy, had to be careful at times.

I paid £240 for a brand new painted nose cone from Suzuki, mine was repairable tbh, I gave it to Cbay for his.

Get a price for repair (if it's not too bad) before committing to a new one or change.

Glad you're ok anyway.

Balls. Glad you didn't come out so bad from it..

Sugar mate! Glad your ok. Could have been a lot worse and you'll be better for it when you get back to riding. On another note, never ride a bicycle with your motorcycle tank between the handlebars, at night, in traffic, without lights, or brakes!

+1 on what Tam said. I can give you a price list of what my conversion cost.
The bit you're almost certainly gonna struggle with is the yoke, they're like hens teeth.
