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.

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.

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.

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.
