Dropped My Bike...

[elchapoRR]

Evening guys,

So for the first time ever, I've dropped a motorbike, my S1000RR... Getting on it at a petrol station after a long day at Silverstone today.

Luckily it hasn't done much in terms of damage... I think my ego is more hurt by it, very embarrassing. There is a bit of cracked fairing and some scuffed carbon / bolts / bar end / rear set peg.

Not sure if the white fairing panel is an expensive replacement?

That's gutting man. Happens to everyone at some time or another though.

Good excuse to upgrade to some shiny rear sets though!!!

only thing there thats will cost money is the fairing,everything pennies in comparison (well apart fro the akky cover..)

Gutted and feel where is your ego coming from as I did the same to Ducati Diavel back in the day.

Simon Banting has a great hashtag to all this #itsonlymoney

the carbon cover should clean up with wet n dry and a coating of clear lacquer.

So BMW Prices for all of those its are:

Fairing: £224.41
Bar End Weight: £26.40
Hero Blob: £5.21
Engine case screw: 90p
Carbon Exhaust Cover: £178.00

Everything can be fixed very cheap and easy. Only fairing needs a little bit of skill. I happens to everyone. The good thing is that damage is minimal and you are fine.

Q bond for the fairing on the inside. Look it up on eBay and YouTube. Used it to repair a Brocken fairing tab. Spot on

Nothing worse than dropping the bike and then the sound when you pick it up! I dropped my SV650 at a busy junction at 5.15 on on a Friday. My foot slipped on a curb I ended up under it. Happens to everyone at some point!

Thanks Tim. I thought the fairing would be around that price. Got it in for a service next weekend... so will get the bits ordered.

I was wondering if the hero blob could be ordered... it's so minute, but I know it's there and it bugs me. Going to order some Evotech levers and bar ends before next weekend.

I hope so, I don't really want to scrap it and buy a new one. The scuffs don't feel like they've gone too deep.

I have been looking, lol, so much choice out there. The Gilles Tooling rear sets are super nice.

Quick update. I've been given a price on the cracked panel from BMW, which is only £100, but it only comes primed, so will have to get it painted and need a new decal, which is about £35 from BMW. So all in all... not as bad as I thought.

Any recommendations on where to get it painted around the Hampshire / Surrey area?

@budgie will do a great job. You'll have to ship it to him.
