OOPS
was out on a ride last night and threw it down the road Slightly annoyed!
Was coming off a roundabout and realised i wasnt going to make the turn. Grabbed the brakes only to straighten up and slam into the kerb throwing me along the central reservation and the bike down the road. Schoolboy error.
Mainly scratches with the fairings in one piece thanks to the now bent R&G. Should be repairable.
Parts damaged / wanted:
R/H footpeg
tinted db screen
R/H R&G
standard exhaust
R/H fairing
Front mudguard.
Front R/H fork R&G.
Info needed:
Where can i get silver suzuki paint in a spray can?
Where can i get the vinyl graphics?
How do i straighten a crash bung to get the fairing off?
Pics attached.  |

Doesn't look so bad - bit of T-cut and some metal polish and it'll be right as rain.
Seriously, R&G will sell you a single bung. They may even send you one for free if you send them a copy of your pictures to add to their collection on their website. I'll guess they may be able to give you some help on removing the damaged one too. ____________________ Current bike: Kawasaki Z750S |

Sorry to hear mate, damage doesnt look terminal though Wow, other road users really couldnt give a fuck about us these days it seems when I had a spate of crashes a couple years ago, everyone stopped, only time I was left was when I came off my mx bike and split my knee, and a cyclist who saw it happen as he approached just rode right past me kneeling trying to get the bike up as couldnt stand  ____________________ TL1000s, KDX200 |

Sorry to hear it.
I don't think you need a new wheel, just some paint to touch it in and then it will not be noticable.
Maybe a good tip is to check that its not bend, ie take off and take it to a garage to check!
Good luck and sorry becareful! ____________________ Call me Mr. Blobby  |

Sucks mate but as long as you're ok that's the main thing!

A sorry sight
Try your local suzuki dealer for the paint and the decals... I hear the decals aren't cheap though. Last time I was going to get some for the small decal on the seat pod, I was quoted about £30 for one side....
| Quote: | but for the R+G try twatting it straight with a hammer? |
I wouldn't quite resort to that... The bung is on a engine mounting point..and wouldn't want to risk twatting it again. I removed my one by grinding away as much of the remaining bung as possible, until I got easy access to the bolt to enable to to remove it. The R&G bungs are available separately  ____________________ BMW R1200GS & Honda Fireblade 929RR

Update:
R/H footpeg - smoothed with dremmel, looks fine
tinted db screen - currently using standard clear
R/H R&G - £30 from R&G
standard exhaust - Acrapovic bought instead
R/H fairing - paid £170 for a 'MINT' one from a breakers, delivered
today and its a well used old bashed up track one by the looks of it . STILL
REQUIRE A REAL MINT ONE ASAP!
Front mudguard - going to get a king carbon one
Front R/H fork R&G. - these are not sold separately so on the look out.

Glad to see you're ok, and the damage was minimal.
Surely you could live with cosmetic problems?  |

Now you see what people talk about with the bending crash bungs damaging the frame, 'tisnt just people being crazy!
Good luck sourcing the parts, everyone should have a less than perfect bike, because then you'll get the satisfaction of putting it right and admiring your handywork
