Our daughter is learning to ride, and we went for a quiet pootle yesterday afternoon on a few back roads around our way on what was supposed to be a confidence-building exercise. Unfortunately she dropped the bike as she entered a stretch of roadworks at the end of our road. :Oops:
Daughter is OK, but a little sore around the knee & shoulder. Pride is severely dented.
The r/h fairing and r/h mirror took a beating. So did the shroud on the muffler. The bike is insured, but the excess is predictably very high.
Do any of you kind folk have any spares sitting around? PM if you do, or send me a text on 021 404 443.

she must have dropped it HARD, I remember when I got my learner license and at that stage had owned my FXR for 7 weeks, went caning around some back roads, came around a corner at probably 30kph and there were marbles on the road with no signage and I dropped it, cracked the windshield and broke my gear lever off but only scratches to the fairing, I still got my FXR took most the stickers off, it looks like a mini version of an SV1000, which Im due to own next month. and heres something you may not want to hear, being 4 years experienced now, I was racing my mate who just bought my CBX 750 off me across town, and I beat him around corners, at take offs, the only way he beat me was to catch up using the extra 70 horsepower he had. FXR's can be speedy too especially in the hands of a lightweight person, RG150s are even quicker

Dude --just a thought here. Why not convert the FXR to a nekkid.
2xfork mounted headlight brackets and a 7 inch headlight from a scorpio/gn250/bandit250-400 and a couple of indicators.
Theres provision for mirrors on the clutch/master cylinder
That will give ya time to find a fairing for her

thanks for the responses. The idea of converting it to nekkid has possibilities....
My daughter did fit the road hard. Even though the bike slid to a halt without hitting anything, the forks are slightly tweaked as well. I'm confident that they're repairable though.
