May your repair costs be small,  he3r0.

Tip-overs like this are why I keep my side cases on the bike. They help prevent the rear signals from breaking and lessen the shock to the front end, too.

Negligence and carelessness span humanity from rich to poor and uneducated to brilliant. In some of us, they are occasional; in others, they are a way of life. Eliminating them seems a slow process, but side cases can be repaired cheaply and relatively quickly.  :clap:

Yeah, cases do help (they did time before that), yet  i was considering replacement of the rear turnlights before, now i'm fored to do it.
shiftlever will have to be replaced, i cant ride with it bent this way, front turnlights are the hardest to come i think (considering price of course),
But I'll manage it through the winter :)

Just in case you don't know about them, Motobins as both the lenses and their housings as separate items in their lights, indicators and bulbs section, if you decide not to swap them for something else.

Yup, great resource, though considering how beat up rear turnlights are, in my town, i think i'll settle for something dirt cheap. chances are that i'll have to replace them next season as well

Sorry to see, hope you can get the parts cheap. From your comment you think somebody has tipped it over or hit it. If so you can only back Karma.

Sorry man, that's just wrong.  Living well is the best revenge, so get it back on the road.
Cheers,

Unfortunately some people are just scumbags. Left hand side parts seem to be easier to find second hand, as most bricks come down on the RH side. I have to continue to believe what goes around comes around.
Best wishes Martin.

Honest to God....what's wrong with people. Oddly enough, I have always looked at motorcycles out on public property as having a vulnerable look to them - 2 wheels, scrawny side stand. They look a little awkward until in motion. But kicking a bike over for nothing?? That's like kicking a dog! And if it had been an accident the person would have righted/ tried to right the bike. So far I've been lucky in this regard. Fortunate that my girls are in a garage just about all the time.


Good luck.
