Glad you're okay

 

Little bit of shade tree surgery and most of the nonsense is masked/fixed. bent the brake pedal back into place. good to go until i can talk to the bassani folks. closed on fridays, seems like


ordered new grips.

 

Sucks dropping a bike. I didn't really post anything about it because I felt so stupid but I did something similar last fall. I was fine other than a skuff on my knee. Bike fell on the primary side and suffered a broken clutch lever, bent shifter, scratched up derby cover, and by far the most tragic a dent in my custom painted tank. Probably the closest I've come to crying since my grandpa died...

But the important thing is I learned a lesson.

 

nothing to feel bad about. we all make mistakes and do human stuff. i imagine you would be upset considering all you've put into your bike.

 

Spoke to bassani about the damaged muffler and heatshield.

they say
187 for a new muffler
89 for the front heat shield
74 for the rear hear shield ( to match)

400 basically... looks like decisions be needn' made. New set of pipes @700, repair, have parts keracoated, or act like i don't see the damage.


fun times

 

Trying to avoid an insurance claim?

 

 

lol, never crossed my mind. i'd only make that call if another and truck smashed it or it grew legs.

accidental thunderheader.

 

is the tip of the pipe polished or chrome ? if polished aluminium, maybe a tip of welding and some shaping with the dremel will make it like new again ?


off topic, what brake line do you run in front ? My wife is locking for some braided lines for her 883R (dual disc)...

 

The end cap is polished ah-lou-minnie-ummm. It could reworked for sure. the muffler cone is out of round and a nice chunk of metal was scraped off. It would need the same proposed treatment as the end cap and a re-coat.

i may have to fix it with a sport glide.

the lines I've been using are goodridge. They make a kit for 883R and 1200Rs.
here's the one i had originally used but they are now in a ziplock bag:
