Dropped Suzi yesterday in an experience with a cage and RR track.  Full story on how this happened in the Cafe, but the damage is what I need some advice on.  I rode Suzi home after the fall with no trouble (other than the weird new footpeg angle!)

Right front foot peg bent into a U shape. I think it got caught between the pavement and the RR track rail, thus the weird result.  No damage to the footpeg connection point. Any ideas for straightening this?

Right throttle and lever are scraped up - the throttle is plastic, the lever aluminum. What can I do to smooth these out?

Right rear taillight is broken at the plastic joint, but still attached and working. Can I just super glue this back together?

Right side acorn nut on the lower side of the case is smushed. I am not planned to replace it, but am I going to have to saw it off if I need to get in there?

Right mirror chrome is scraped, as is my windscreen. Any buffing techniques?

My bike leaked gasoline when I fell, maybe 1 cup worth. When I checked, I found no leaks anywhere and all hoses are good.  Is there anything I need to check to make sure I'm not leaking anywhere else?

No oil leak, no tank damage at all (thank you very much), no other visible damage, but I am concerned about the front alignment as I hit the RR track at an angle and then went down.  What do I need to look for?  Is there anything else I need to check?

Thanks in advance!

Hmmmm I have a ball peen hammer......and I always wear gloves.

Yes, the bike is 06, but I did not report it to the insurance and the police filed no formal report (staying under the insurance radar) because I think I can do all the repairs myself. (Well, with helpful advice from this forum!  )

The scrapes in the windshield can be sanded and then polished out.  How good it looks depends on your patience.  If you have deep gouges, start rough 120 grit or so.  then 220, 400 and then 800.  Then there's an emery type paper with red rouge, good stuff.  After that you're nearly done.  rubbing compound or mirror glaze to finish.  Except for the change in surface contour, mine looks new.  

Take the offended footpeg off, strip the rubber off it and beat it in a vice till straight.  If the metal is cracked or torn, replace it.  

just wanted to say sorry about the spill - will leave advice on how to fix to those with more experience - my accidents always seemed to result in zero damage to bike & me luckily.

If your going to try to bend the peg back in shape I would want to do it off the bike , in a vice. It may require more torque than what would be safe on the bike. IMO. Good luck.

I've got a pair of 18" channel locks and was able to bend it back some.  But mine was only bent about 45°.

You can't get it perfect because of the rubber.  And take a look at the other side.  It's not straight either.  Try and match it up.  

Scrapes mean nothing but cosmetic hardship, nothing more than that. The big thing is, is that you are OK, and a bruised ego is something that we all suffer from, and not only do we get over it, we learn from our experiences.

I am truthfully glad that you are OK.

My wife started learing on the Savage today, and it is a slow, but trying  process, but she is so determined to 'get it right', and with time and love ( which is patience) she will succeed.

She is 55 years old, and yes I'm worried, but I am also very proud.

I hope you can get your bike back up to snuff soon, and I know you will. Just take your time, it is, afterall, a machine that was built by human hands, and therefore, can be fixed by said hands.

God Bless, Ride safe.

Hey all, is this the correct part number for the 2006 S40 right foot peg?
