Hi all,

I passed my test on Thursday and treated myself to a 2009 SV650 sport.

When I got home today, I parked it and then moved it forward an inch as it was touching the wall, and of course the stand went with it.

I'm totally mortified :(

So, loads of bits damaged, but the worst is that the left fairing is now flush against the frame, whereas the other side sticks out about 40mm.

Is there an easy fix for this? Looks like the bracket is bent.

I have pics:

Other damage was:

The clutch lever was bent but that bent back into place.

The bar end is bent (the long screw that holds it in is bent)

The gear shifter broke, but I have drilled a hole in it and putt a bolt through with the old rubber on, so it works, got a new one coming Weds.

Lower fairing is all scratched.

I could have cried to be honest. :(

just remove all 4 bolts and slip it out from top fairing..lower fairing joined at the bottom with plastic pins which i could not remove but was loose enough to get a mallet behind and tap bar back out
