Default Laid the Fatboy over!!!!

So I dropped my bike. No speed involved, I was slipping the clutch in an off camber gravel approach to the garage. Damage is as follows. Right hand grip has a new air hole in it and my big radius heat shields are scratched and bent. the pipes are straight and still in good condition. Question is, has anybody been able to replace just the heat shields from Vance and Hines? I emailed them today with no reply!

Oh yeah, brake lever is bent to hell too!

Feel for you. Just small damage so be happier. Really.

Rocks and sand are trouble. Those that haven't done this are folks that just haven't got around to it yet.
