So..... this is how it went down.
I JUST got my 929, this thing was clean with a full micron exhaust, power commander, wave rotors, EVERYTHING! It was freakin nice.
Anyways, so im riding through the city and some guy pulls up beside me and starts riding in formation out of no where. A few miles later we stop, talk a little bit, and we decided to ride about 20 or 30 miles before calling it a day.
Its all going good, he has a 07 600gsxr, and it was nice as hell outside. WELLLLLL.... not too long after, we get hit with a random rain shower. I was like "whatever...it'll be fine, it'll blow over".
I was wrong.
Not so much as the rain hit the pavement, which by the way was just paved and oily as hell, some hag in front of us hits her brakes. So he hits his, i hit mine. My tires obviously werent designed to stop that fast on a wet, oily road...so what do i do? I slid right into the guy i was riding with. We both went down but other than the little scratch on my elbow, the was no harm done. His bike had come scratches and a small dent in his back rim. I on the other hand had (and im going by the estimate i got) bent forks, broken top and bottom triple tree, bent rotor, broken front fender, broken pegs and brackets, and my lower fairings were scratched all to hell. Over all the guy said it would cost $3500 to just get it riding again....thats not including fairings.
And to top all of this off.... i, like a dumb ass, had only liability.
Any sites with cheap parts would be greatly appreciated, as for now... Im a sad mother effer with no bike for the next couple of weeks.
I lucked up and found a guy who is parting out his 929. The only thing is that i'l probably going to have to go to red/black because i cant find no yellow/black fairings. The $3500 to fix it.... is now $1500!
I'd like to hear some feedback on favorite exhaust systems too... I have a full micron exhaust on there now but I'm probaly going to replace it soon.
