A sad day.

[Gfunk]

Hello! It's been a long time since I have posted on here, so I thought I'd buy a virtual round.

Just bought a new battery for the raptor today, all went well until I tried to move the bike, slipped and watched in slow motion as the raper fell to earth with a BANG.

Damage report goes something like this:

Bar end weight
Brake pedal
Brake lever (gsxr k8 master cylinder)
Off side exhaust
Large dent in tank

If anyone has any of these parts that they would like to sell I would be grateful.

Craig.

P.S I was hopeing to take it out soon

Ouch!!

Shame We need some nice happy stories about sunny days and sweeping bends and spotting the speed camera before she spots you. Sorry dont have any of those bits . Do these tanks dent?

[snapdragon]

........... Do these tanks dent?

Mine hasn't, and she's been dropped more than one time got scored when I didnt avoid black ice, but never a dent. It surprised me too as the tank's thick plastics

I might have a brake pedal if u get stuck.
sorry about the droped bike awell

We are but human!
I'm sure the tank should be able to be mended - replacements are getting hard to find, sorry I know that's not what you want to hear

Will keep my eyes and ears open just in case and here's to hoping you get up and running asap

bugger - sorry to hear that, nothing to help here though, sorry

I've got a brake pedal for sure and I'm sure that somewhere I've got a set of the original bar end weights. Tis a bit dark outside now so I'll have to look in the shed tomorrow.
Let me know if you still need them

Thanks for the replys everyone!

TimO if you have the bar ends and brake pedal then that would be great. How much do you want for them?

Also on my list of woe is a swing arm, as that was also damaged in the drop.

Thanks again Craig.

Just a quick update.

The bike has gone to the insurance company for a quote on the repair.

The bike has gone to sudden impact in Essex. I'm insured with Carol Nash, and so far they have dealt with the claim efficently. Fingers crossed.

Thanks again for the response Craig.
