Right, extremely sad me, but it could have been worse. I moved house at the weekend, only for somebody to reverse into my bike and knock it over against a wall, which it slid down, on the first night.

I now need some parts, but am pretty poor at the moment. The damage is luckily cosmetic only, I think. I haven't ridden it since:

- smashed windscreen
- smashed right side mirror
- cracked front fairing and scratches
- shredded throttle grip and bar end (from sliding down wall)
- bent brake lever

Where can I get these parts from for a good price. I assume for the mirror I can replace just the glass?

Any help will be appreciated. I am located in Brunswick

E-Bay is always a good start
I assume you didn't see who it was?

That sucks. Did they atleast tell you they did it or did the do a runner?

some wanker backed the forklift into my old rx 1ooo and it jared the cam chain tensioner loose which then resulted in her first engine rebuild he offered to pay for the cosmetics all i got was $150 but found him at penrith panthers one night also got 2 pounds of flesh

or a shop

Doubt you can just replace the glass, it will require the whole mirror and arm.

You could look at getting the fairing repaired, depending on how bad the condition is. Unlikely you will get a replacement in the same colour so worth considering the cost.

If you can get the part numbers/ descriptions do web searches as well you might get lucky

I can help with that.....D..I..S..C..O...see easy

Now that sucks......have a chat with Gassit in fairfield.....wen i sold my 2fiddy they did a couple cosmetic stuff and bike came up a treat....

Thanks for all the replies. Gassit have the bike now., I prefer to get it done on insurance as a $500 excess is not far off the cost of me repairing it on the cheap. That way, I get the respray, fairing fixed properly etc too.

It's a contentious one as to blame. I didn't see who did but know who did. He wont accept blame, and I can't prove it. I would just beat the shit out of him but... he's the landlord of my apartment and lives in the unit next door. I did come home and do his tyres the other night though... I will probably just break a few things he will have to repair out of his own pocket in the house, that will also make me feel better.

Older thread but I saw the "cnut" and thought is was about me
