Right in the Bar Louie parking lot at the mall. NO serious damage thank God, just a few inches of rash on the rail. Luckily the old owner had frame sliders on there. Fell on its right side, frame slider broke off, I don’t see a bolt or anything anywhere just an empty hole, besides the frame slider, anything else I need to worry about now? I rode the bike about five miles home as normal, feels completely the same, just my brake lever is a little bent but ill either try to bend it back or replace it =/

Check the front stay bracket. Depending on the bike and the side it fell onto it may be broken.

In my experience, it’s usually only aesthetic damage though.

Shitty :tdown: I’ve been fortunate to not have anyone knock mine over in either of the bikes I’ve had. Blows my mind that people don’t own up to it.

Finding the d-bag at Bar Louie that did it would prove to be a challenge. There are so many of them.

Are you positive about the camera angle? I’d report it or talk to security at least. It’s part of the reason I avoid the mall at all costs.

I don’t own a bike but my thoughts would be to replace the brake handle and not bend it back. We are talking about a major feature on the bike. Bending metal only weakens it. Just my thought.

I did speak to security, cameras are not pointed in that direction. Ill have to order new sliders, a brake lever, and someone will already be doing my paint work for me

Just my 2 cents…

But what kind of crappy ass sliders did you have on there that broke off?

I had an 05 600rr with super nice delrin sliders and even when I got hit on NFB they didnt break off, the bike flipped over too.

yeah i would def just replace it. The aluminum doesnt bend back well, plus stock levers are cheap and easy enough to find. This is why we cant have nice things :bigtdown:
