Well, riding for ten years now and never dropped a bike before, but have a driveway that sits at a 45 degree incline and I dumped my CR. No real damage except for some rash on the pylon.

Any recommended fixes?

I'm guessing he switched out his pods for traffic pylons? LOL





Also, the pods are $59 brand new from harley, in case it can't be sanded and buffed.

Note: price is off the top of my head and could be incorrect even though I bought two. This poster is not responsible for errors in pricing.

From wiki-
"Aircraft pylon, a vertical structure used to mount external equipment such as engines and weapons ("stores") externally on an aircraft"

Sounds resonable enough to me.

Pylon mounted weapons sound awesome. Red Jacket 1919 anyone? x2 please, but without the cheesy chrome and dragon.

Seriously though - probably just your pod. Buff it out or get one new (not too $ new).

check your puck on the side you dropped. Check out GSD (grandstanddesigns) if you need to replace one.

GL!

"Pylon" sounds like whatever that thingy is called. For the life of me, I can't remember what it's really called.

Give your Pylon the Krylon touch.
