Title: Pics of the CBR after the wreck...
Post by: Daniely on April 14, 2005, 10:58:59 AM
Here are just two of the shots that I have....

On monday the forks get sent off to get straightened, the tail is trash so is the tail light. Im throwin away all thr busted pieces, selling all my plastics and buying a set of race plastics for it. Should be good as new in about 2 weeks (that just HAPPENS to be when I get my clean bill of health :) :) ).

Out of these pics, for those that dont know, I ended up with a seperated shoulder and torn tendons that hold down my collar bone. That was about 3 weeks ago, I just TODAY stopped using a sling though its still a tad sore, and I start physical therapy on monday morning before work. Then in 2 weeks I go in for a checkup to get a clean bill of health :). Arm is feelin great BTW :).

dan,
dont throw away your old peices. believe it or not they have value. people will buy them to use as spares on the track. I have a whole spare set for mine I use on the track (all pre-crashed). sell on ebay.


Fur? what the hell were you thinking?

for example, I bought a rashed and cracked tail.

notice my zip-tie stitching to keep the crack together...paid $35.
bought a pair of side fairings with little more than a couple small scratches for $100. Bought a tank cover (the plastic cover over the actual tank) for $5 with a big crack in it. then I bought a race upper that you can see here...

Your bike looks like a gs without the plastics so why bother getting new ones?  ;)

Don't over-do it man, that clean bill of health is not something you schedule the date and go pick up... gotta earn it.  Heal well dude :thumb:

the good thing about furing the bike body work, once you glue/plastiweld the broken chunks, you just fit a fur patch over the area and you never know the plastics are trashed aside from glued on fur/cloth.
