So I spilled the bike today. First ride back after 9 months, I was taking it to get the inspection renewed. Dummy me didn't check the tire pressure...
Got about a block away from the house before I had to make a small swerve. As soon as I made the input, she slid right out from under me. The aftermath:
I decided to check the tire pressure when I got home. 25 rear, and 15 front.
Destroyed the handlebar, throttle grip, right rear turn signal, and front right peg. The exhaust, the right rear shock, and the right mirror seemed to get a little road rash, but I'm not too worried about them. Might replace the mirror, but at this point I'm focused on the important stuff to ride again.
So, I come to you all with the question: Does anybody suggest any changes to these components? Are there different pegs I could get that might be cheaper/easier to find than stock? Suggested rear turn signals? The stock bars seem to work fine for me, but I'm curious what other people might run, especially if it's a cheap alternative. If I have to replace it, I may as well keep my mind open to suggestions.
FWIW, Duluth firehose pants really saved my tushy. Grade A+ top notch. Got a couple scrapes and tears, but really held up to the skid.
