Was unloading my bikes yesterday.. And then this. It fell off the side of my tilting trailer while it was tilted.



damage needing repair: rear turn signal and right mirror.
other damage: scratched muffler, banged up bar end.

Can I use bar end mirrors on my stock bars?

I agree, my first instict would've been to get it back up then take pics. Sorry to hear about it, did it damage the tank at all?

Nope first thing i did was move the car/trailer forward to stand the bike up.. but then i thought "how many times are you going to see your bike layind down on the job?"

NO damage to the tank at all. The bike was strapped down to a HF chock i had moddified a little. so the chock set up took alot of the force. i believe it saved damage to the forks and controls.

Steering Stop? i dont think so. i did a once over of the fork and neck area didn't see anything out of place but i also wasn't specificlly looking for that.

i did stand it up eventually, let it sit for afew minuets while i cleaned up straps and other random things i had out. some oil leaked out of the vent tubes as well as fuel from the Carb/tank i guess. but it started right up. rode it about a half mile. still kicking..

ohh and sorry for the double post. i usually only use my cell phone and when it freezes it sends things twice. any chance a MOD can delete that for me?

Check your airbox for oil below the air filter. I don't know how it does it, but I've seen it happen twice when they're down on that side!

I always wondered what it would look like from underneath. Thanks for the pics. Sorry about the fall, though.

Yup, Ed L damaged his bike loading it back up on the trailer on the very first Dragon Run ..... it happens.
