#8
im fine. i did just buy the bike. the details of the wreck hmmmm, i was riding and was right by my work with a big empty parking lot went in just playing a round. then thinking of the stunt show i seen on saterday. i thought tomy self hmm i bet if i let a lot of air out of my tier i could make it all the way from one side to the other probly 200yd. and i did and i got stocked so i did it again and again probly 35 or more times. went a little far back hit the brake thinking to my self hmmmm that wasnt to hard then i went back a few more times. then my ball's got a little biger and i was thinking hmmm im gona hit my 12 bar about the 3rd atempt i hit wohoo. then i got a bit squreily so i hit the brake but it didnt come down to fast i jumped off holding to the bars thinking maybe i can set this down my way. one quick game of tug of war proved the bike wanted to go the other way. bent hili bar dent gas tank broken mirror broken cluch cover broken cluch brokenfoot peg big dent in the new 2bros mid pipe and some screches. i think i shoulda waited for the crash cage well i know i shoulda waited

That really sucks man. That foot peg bracket is a pain to replace. You have to pull the swing arm bolt out to replace it. I used tow straps to lift the back end up off the ground. Oh and theres a little c clamp thing that secures the brake pedal onto the bracket. Mine was missing and I forgot to order it when I had to replace my brake pedal. Good luck with all the work.

Man, glad you are okay, that's major damage for a stunt drop. How fast? Our bikes being rarer than I4s can work both ways. Sometimes parts are cheap because of low demand, other times expensive because of no supply. Then there is your present situation, no used parts available. You can score eBay bargains on bike stuff around December, but that's too far away! Might try to find parts from other bikes that fit. I took my sons TL1000 peg when he hit me. Not quite a factory fit, but works.
