    If you are still looking for the odd part.
    I follow the 50/50/90 rule.
    Anytime I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right there is a 90% probability I will get it wrong

    Thanks for looking - I'm off to Cycletreads today anyway for the other bits, so I'll just bite the bullet.

    Good to hear you are ok and were able to extricate yourself and your bike from that situation. Sounds like what damage was done is reasonably straight forward to fix (?).

    Most entertaining write up you did on it I must say, and at least someone did come over to check you were ok and perhaps offer a hand if it was needed. I don't mean this to sound bad, but as a woman rider it encourages me to hear of guys dropping their bikes too (it's not just a female thing then ). Personally it's nice to know that even men aren't always able to stop their beasts kissing the ground through overbalancing.

    Thanks for the smile your post put on my face.

    Thanks PB (I think)

    I decided to try to be funny about it - given the amount of comments with Bling I guess it's been appreciated. Still, bloody expensive way to entertain people.

    Oh, and if anyone checks Cycletreads website and it says they have the products in stock, ring them and check because their website is a filthy liar!!

    No LH mirrors in stock so they had to order it.

    (Got me some tricky LCD indicators, but)

    Bikesport in Helensville have the EMGO replacements - that's where I got my latest ones. www.bikesport.co.nz

    Your bike looks a mirror image of my one LOL.

    RFs are nearly unkillable Marcus.

    Wear your scars with pride.

    Be careful with getting replacement mirrors though - the RF ones look identical to the SRAD ones - but they come out on a different angle - almost flat and the gixxer ones look pants when you put them on because they're on about a 45 degree angle.

    How to tell them apart - the gixxer ones have the rubber cover on the bend at the fairing bracket - the RF ones don't.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Cheers, Riff.

    They are ordering the EMGO ones. I'm a bit annoyed that their website says they have 'em and they don't.

    Still, I'm off work next week, so I can toddle out during the week and grab it. Already paid for it, so all good.

    Isn't it great how a prang is always a great opportunity to upgrade!

    LED Indicators - Great.

    Aww brings a tear.....

    Ohhhh it's just sooo sad to see a RF banged up - even if only a little!!!

    It's just not right.....

    That would have been a real damper on ya Monday morning!!! At least you could pick yours up! I dropped mine (pretty much from a standstill) and I had NO show to pick her up on my own!! :slap: RF's are heavy maaaan...

    Fingers crossed you get all the parts you need to make her pretty again...
    May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be to short too scratch...

    I feel your pain

    Pain when bits get broken eh! My RF got blown over in the wind a few months ago, when I saw it lying there (on the right hand side) I thought , mirrors, brake lever, fairing. Any of these would have been easy to replace. But no it was the rearset, right across where the foot peg goes through. After much ringing around, I find there is no chnace of getting a replacement. Lucky there is a good welder on Barrys Point Road that did a decent job of fixing it!

    Riffer?? I don't believe it's his that's broken.

    Yep, got all the bits. Trouble is, Miss Mully and I decided to have a go at fitting the flash new LED indicators ourselves ("What's the worst that could happen?) and, umm, now they don't go.

    So I have to visit my local friendly bike-fixer (read Frosty) to be able to get them going.

    Sorry Mully got my "wires" crossed there. Did you get the fairings all sorted?

    Gonna give it a polish once it's all back together - I suspect some of it will cut out. Then I'll make a decision on what to do.
