I hit a fire hydrant, and this is what happen. (youtube link soon)
geez fire hydrants dont give easily. that had to have sucked badly. you okay?
The video (posted in his thread about dropping it in the garage) makes it look like he was only going 5 mph. Probably more downward force from the fall then forward force from his momentum.
Here are the night I bought the bike, and after the wreck.

I need help finding a mirror and turn signal combo that will fit, and would like to know where weedahoe got his his mirrors and the bolts to cover the stock holes. Any help finding after market fairing bolts for the front to add spikes would greatly be appreciated.
ouch!
do you have parts yet?
I have an upper fairing I just took off. ZG trouring tinted shield too. I just haven't taken pics or put them in my for sale thread yet.
I just ordered the cowling (upper fairing) today, but I need a wind screen. The bike was wrecked before I bought it and the luckiest part is everything that was damage in my wreck, except for the speedo and cowling bracket, was all ready damage and needed to be replace. I have everything order for the repairs, except for the mirror/turnsignals. I just don't want to order crap parts. I working on all the wiring for the LED lights going in and having problems frying the resistors.
Forget using resistors for led turn signals - they are garbage. Get a good turn signal relay that is made for the low current load of led lights. You should be able to find them at most auto part stores, but I like the ones from www.superbrightleds.com myself.
I have a good relay, the brand begins with a g. I have the bulbs hooked up to make them work for now.
While I have it apart, I would like to replace the the handle bars to a the ones like the GXSR and a new muffler and header set.
So rebuilding starts soon, and getting my W endorsement tomorrow and the day after. I got in the new fairings and waiting on the cowling. The gasket I need comes in Wednesday and with all my well needed parts.
Got the new cowlings in and have started putting the bike back together. Added the new levers, K&N filter, and R&G racing turn signal resistors to counter the LED.
where pics,...?? and update??? :dunno_black:
