well on tuesday the worst thing happened...

i parked the bike facing a slight incline in the road.  turned around and down she went  :cry:

after a couple minutes of cursing i picked it up...didnt know 400lbs was that light...lol.  it fell sort of up hill so i dont think it did as much damage as it could have.

but...now im out a bar end and got scratches on the front left blinker, and a couple small scratches on the fairing.  no cracks or dents or anything...i was pretty surprised.

any places to get a new bar end besides the dealer would be appreciated also

Sorry you droped your bike here are some places

www.bikebandit.com
www.oniedasuzuki.com
http://www.xtremepowersports.com/

http://www.suzukipart.com/

Suzukipart.com has some decent prices.  Onieda does too but watch their shipping charges.

Or you could get some after market ones that are the color of you bike.  Look on ebay for those have seen them there listed under different bike can't think of wich one atm.

And just call the dealer and see what they charge will probally be cheaper than ordering online because of the shipping charges  BTW I'd call several different ones seems they all charge different prices.
Pilot 22.5, Mid 65 , Mains 147.5, Mixture screw 3.5 turns out

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.

Just get some cheap--o bar-ends from Cycle Gear. I have some Motrax ones that look good and work fine. Vibrate less than the stockers too. I had the brushed silver ones but one fell out (I was careless and didn't tighten it down well enough), so I got the black ones.



Like that, but in black.

How much did you get them for online? I got mine for $18 something total at the local Cycle Gear.
