Cali.
I get the bike home. Now I need to start looking for some parts to make her decent again. I will place a WTB ad shortly.
I know.....:worthless

So here they are.

Ey up Sticka, you gonna put back as was or change the colours and trick her up ?
 
I will just get it rideable mate.
The repair estimate was insane to get it back to mint cond.
I have a ton of bikes.
I just want to get it on the road and ride the piss out of it.

I rashed the same side at the track, sticka. If you find parts and bits or an extra front fender in your travels through eBay, please let me know and I will do the same for you. I hear ya about the estimate to return to minty. The OEM handlebar is close to $300 Cdn. Crazy.

No worries, will do. :thumbup
Handle bar here in Cali. is $203 new
The fender is the same price.

Renthal 672 Fatbar - pretty much the same as stock - you need to cut it down to the right width

What did your repair estimate come to?

Now I see why you're called sticka - sticka bit of tape here...

******... The tea is still dribbling out my nose and the other nurses in the break room are looking at me like I'm deranged.

I've just been pricing out bits by myself, Sticka. Over 2500k including pipe, and tweaked subframe. Not happy, but will I take it back to the track at first opportunity?? **** yeah.
 
Ok, I'll bite... wtf is a Sticka?

And here's a thought. if you know someone with body experience (maybe even yersel'), you could fill in the left side solid and go with just lights on the right. change out the OEM and put a set of HIDs in and you can use the filled in solid side to hide the ballast. Give you the look of the endurance guys... *grin*

Thinking I may go with that Renthal bar and see if I can get them in blue to match the rims and the ASV levers I am looking at...

I have the 672 bars on my Tuoldo - ISTR they only came in a sort of gunmetal grey.

I did work out which other bars matched the stock bars once & posted it all on AF1, there are quite a few in the range that are close matches. I think the 672 is about 10mm lower than stock, which helps keeping weight over the front when you are pushing hard.

Here are the comparisons - the files are still on my host site

This is a couple of years old - so worth checking the figures before you order.

I've no idea what a sticka is either. I know what a window licker is tho'. Last may when our group did the Scotland run we had T shirts made with "Window Lickers Tour 2009" on plus the Rolling stones logo on - we got a few glances
