[:@]Had an incident today. Lowside collision into the curb. Cold road, cold tires, road debris (new home construction area) and just a "small" amount of target fixation (it is hard not to notice the curb approaching at speed and knowing the outcome well before). Result is that I require entirely new fairings for an '01 929RR + some miscellaneous parts (ie. new exhaust system). Obviously this is not a new bike but it is a long time favorite and the first time it has ever been laid over like this. Hence I want it fixed and luckily I have some mechanical apptitude and tools and a winter project. Just add parts.

Also any hints and pointers are more than welcome.

 

Sounds like your ok. That’s the main thing. Good luck with the bike…

 

Step 1. Forget the plastics. Shaving them will save weight=faster bike
Step 2. Forget the exhaust. Louder=Better. Plus the unchanneled exhaust fumes will preheat the gasoline which gives at LEAST +5hp
Step 3. Ramp it over a building.
Step 4. Make S'mores with the burning wreckage.

Good to hear you made it through aight.

 

Haha, funny guy. Anways, a good way to find out information is to make use of the "Search" function. I use it when I've got questions. Ironicly, it keeps my posting down, but keeps repeats down from me as well. Post some pics and feel free to ask any questions in the "General Tech" section if you need some pointers or help (or any other bike specific forum). Searching the "How-To" section might help alot, just don't post your questions there. (It's for posting "how I did this" posts only. Speaking of... feel free to take plenty of pictures and make a post there on how you go about removing and replacing any broken parts on your bike as you do them, that's always appreciated!) Welcome to the site!
