Dropped SV650s - likely damage?

Well my sv has been dropped/slid down the road by me and previous owner:

Damage (now all fixed)

Lock stop (bar touchs tank nearly on right hand full lock)
Broke rear brake pedel/lever clean off
Scuffed rear tail piece
Cracked fairing under indicator on right hand side
scuffed me can up in 3 places

That was with R&G crash bungs on.

Make sure it looks in better nick than mine after 1 minor drop and 1 very major drop!

I'm guessing that wasn't the minor drop

Thanks for all the tips guys. Good to see such a friendly forum about.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum. We are all friendly and only bite when asked!

I've just paid £1200 for a 2001 SV 650 S, FSH, 10 months tax, MoT, New tyres, chain and sprockets. Don't pay to much for a dropped one.

and after all the second hand market at the moment on suzukis is a buyers market.. there are just loads out there and some really nice ones that are a very good price.. It may be more trouble than it is worth to buy a damaged one.


**EDIT**

It is also not necessary to have the nipple on the brake lever. I dropped my bike on the day of my test and they passed it without the nipple on the brake. As long as there is enough brake for you to hold on to then it is not a problem. (although it is probably advisable to get a new one)
