Garauld fall down - I need some good (straight) Gen1 parts. I'm OK

[garauld]

- here's the story - I was puttering along (10 - 15 mph) in a line of traffic on my way into work this AM when the car in front of me slowed very quickly. I grabbed a handful of front brake and the front end just washed out. The damp road may have contributed to it. The bike flopped over on the left side and slid a bit into the concrete divider wall hitting the front fairing just above the headlight. I slid a bit too and suffered a lot less damage. Picked it up, lashed the broke windshield to my rack and drove the short distance to work.

For a Gen1, I need:

a straight front subframe

left panel that surrounds the glovebox

the metal bracket that windshield screws attach into

an alternator cover.

The panel and cover can be scratched - I can repaint them.

PM me if you have one to sell. Thanks a bunch!

Glad your damage was "a lot less"

And I only wish I could help with the parts you need.

Geez, that stinks but glad you're OK. I'll let you know if I can find any parts somewhere...

Sorry to hear of your incident, but glad you're OK. Can't help with the parts, as I'm just an FJR FNG.

 

[RaYzerman19]

I can't help much with the parts either, but hope you're OK.

 

[majicmaker]

Glad you're ok!

 

[Frushlorton]

Glad you're ok.

 

[TomInPA]

So you can repair my scratched alternator cover?

 

[garauld]

I would try and bondo the scratches and repaint it. It's an '04 so I'm not as fussy anymore.

 

[Mr Bill]

I can send you a pic of my scratched alt cover to see if you want it.

Let me know

 

[Sportster]

Glad you are mostly unscathed.

 

[FJRPittsburgh]

Sorry to hear of you mishap. Good luck getting the parts you need.

 

[HotRodZilla]

Aw crap man...I wish I could help, but I'm a GenII sissy.

Glad you're good!!

 

[dcarver]

scratches on bike = ok

scratches on body = not ok

glad you didn't throw your body between the bike and divider to protect the bike.

..that's something 'zilla would do, you know?

 

[Top_Speed1]

Sorry for your mishap G, but glad you're okay 'southern-tier neighbor'. Good luck w your repairs, with your ingenuity it prob will be quite quick (i hope!).

 

[garauld]

Thanks for all your concerns. I'm fine. I've still got lots of "Friggin' Red" paint left. I've heard it's tough to TIG weld human body parts together....

 

[rickysnickers]

Alternator cover, are you referring to the one on the left side of the bike? If so, I have a scratched one, you can have. If you like I can send you pictures first.

The Fumes suck, especially if they are your own parts
