Dropped the bike!!!

[odemode]

Posting this on behalf of my mate, he's sick. Parked our bikes up today at our mates and as I walked over to knock on I heard a crunch, ran back and there was his 675 lying on its side with my mucker head in hands. The street was on a bit of a bank so looks like the bikes weight has just moved the bike enough to fold the stand in.

It ruined the day especially for him. He'd just had a brand new Arrow fitted too. The crunch they make when they hit the deck is sickening. I was lucky because his bike fell about a foot away from mine. I want to do all I can to help him get it back to standard as I know he won't get back on until it is.

Damage - left mirror scratched, tank scratched but not dented, tail piece snapped, clutch lever snapped, bar end scratched.

Just wondering if any of you lot know other than eBay where we could get any bits from.

Thanks in advance

Been advised today by Stoke Triumph that the tail could be repaired using plastic wielding and the tank can be touched up.

Doubt it's worth plastic welding the tail piece (would need a respray too) - get hunting on ebay and call a few salvage places before going down that route!

Its fucked, I'll give him a fiver to scrap it and save you the hassle. Why would you not ride it? New grip, job done.

Horrible to see it, cant imagine he feels too good right now. From past experience I'd think;

Tank will be cheaper to sort than replace.

Rear cowl 'should' be cheaper to sort, Honda 600RRs are ~£240 for the rear cowl, I'd bet welding would beat that and the paint is the same as the tank.

Is the mirror a paint or replace job? I cant quite see if it's cracked in or just scuffed? If it's paint, then I'd paint that.

Grips - If he wants, Renthal grips for sports bikes are about £8 a pair, easy to fit and they're the same as the race bikes, might look nice with that colour scheme.

Levers - As others have said, I'd do a pair.

It's unfortunate and horrible when something like this happens. I find the easiest way to get over it is by adding some stuff you'd like to add as well, even if it is just little bits here and there.

I wish you and your mate the best with getting it sorted.
