I had a mishap the other night...
I have the lazy speedometer problem (despite brand new Yuasa). Usually, I just key off/on during decel about a mile into each ride. On Wednesday I did this at a higher rate of speed in an area I wasn't familiar with, and ended up in a turn while screwing around with the ignition switch. I took a little excursion into the grass and went down. I was alright (thats why there is gear), and the bike was rideable.
Damage:
rear brake pedal
passenger peg mount
bent handlebar
scratched paint
dented radiator tank (no leaks)
one broken signal
Questions:
Is there good availability of parts for some of these parts, or am I better off sucking it up at the stealership? eBay supply seemed thin.
Has anyone replaced a S3 bar with aftermarket? I don't want my controls to hit the tank once its repainted.
Do I need to be careful selecting a painter for the tank? It looks likes its made out of sheet molding compound (SMC), which I have never painted.
What are my chances getting someone to replicate Roulette Green? Should I just cave and choose a new color?
Is there a source for replacement decels to go between a base/clear paint?
Thanks!
- Matt
