Looking for advice on repairing crashed bike. See attached pictures.
I locked my front brake accidentally trying to avoid a taxi crossing the road in front of me and before I could count to 0.0001 seconds my bike was on it's side and sliding. To say it happened quickly is an understatement. Anyway I believe the Barkbuster hand guards and SW-Motech engine bars prevented a lot more serious damage to the bike but I still have:
- bent handle bar
- rashed and cracked left fairing
- broken off spindle/spool mount on swing arm
- ground down engine bars
Should I replace the fairing piece or try and repair with Plastex and then paint? Only one fairing piece is damaged.
What aftermarket bars will fit the versys without causing cable issues or should I just replace with OEM bar. Can this be bent back safely?
Can a competent welder weld a new piece for spool attachment on my swing arm without weakening it?
