Hi all
Had a great ride out in the afternoon, stopped to take some pictures of my bike. 5 mins later, hit some ice (I think) on a roundabout and the bike slid out from under me
I roll to a halt in the road and the bike slides on its crash bung to the other side of the road.
The crash bung has done a great job of preventing a lot of damage on the bike (curvy 02 svs) - the main thing is a broken rear brake lever, a hole in the front indicator and a crack in the fairing which is repairable.
What I am worried about is looking at the crash bung when I got back, it's definitely at an upwards angle and it looks like it might have bent the engine bolt? Would it be a case of just replacing the bolt or could this cause any damage/put a bend in to the frame?
This is the crash bung:
This is the best picture I can get of the mounting point for the bung, it looks like it isn't in line?
I've tried to show the upward angle of the bung:
The other bit of damage I'm unsure about is the exhaust which has a rash on it, I'm really lucky it didn't put a hole in the carbon fibre:
I think getting a new band and rivetting it on in place of the rashed one would be ok?
If i could get any advice on these things I would be really really grateful!
Many many thanks all
