OK, i just have a few ?s about the low side.... SHoudl I worry about the frame? The steering head? Or anythign else other than the obvious visual damage..... ? Thanx... Chase | ||

which side, how fast were ya moving, was your tongue on the proper side of your mouth when ya went down little more data would be useful, but, lacking said, you've likely got no problems you can't see -- the frames are pertty sturdy, ya might wannt throw a goord straightedge on the forks, just for giggles and grins, check the alignment of the forks, (sometimes, the upper triple tree will rotate a little on the stem, easily righted) | ||

Yo Chase, You crashed? What happened? I got a couple extra Buell parts hanging around, what do you need? Ya wanna burgle a chopper "designer" with me n score some parts? I am sure we can get off as it's a crime of passion, like Greenpeace. Den 99X1 | ||

I had a couple of lowsides hard enough to bend the handlebars. Other than replacing everything bent, I loosened the triple clamps and fork brace, checked to make sure everything was in line, and tightened everything back up. | ||
| Aaomy |
yeah ,, did you check your shorts.. that is the first thing i would be replacing...  . you and the bike ok??? | ||
| Tramp |
great question- the trees'll twist on these bad boys- check the lower tree c-clip for movement, frame should be fine..... | ||

Chase, How's the brake pedal? I have an unneeded brake pedal that I think is for an X-1. The hole for the push rod pivot is in line with the mounting/pivot hole, it does not have a dogleg/offset in towards the centerline of the bike like the M2 brake pedal. Send me an address if you can use that. Jack | ||

Unless it hits something hard or cartwheels I think the frame can pretty much handle it. | ||

definitely | ||

Sorry for the quick post... Went down left side...ripped shift linkage off, tore up the tank cover, peg, rear peg mounts bent, scrath tail, bentr handle bars, and of course with that, teh obvious control damage, scrathed the side case, derby cover...dont htink there is too much else... The forks look ok...they never even hit the ground..no scratches or marks... Anyway, have the bars on order(crossroads), got my rear sets yesterday(from another BadWebber).. The next question...who has done these CrossRoads rear sets...gonna start trying to get her back together..everything should be here this week, so, it will be guly, but rideable, adn for now..good enough for me... I am okay...my geasr did its job... only rash is on the left knee...bruised, sore..but other wise okay, i will be back on this week, hopefully... Anyway...have a few questions involving the rear sets.. Do I need the Crossroads brake lever...or can I use mine? I will check back before I call them back...thats will be only thing holding me up... Thanx, Chase | ||

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your accident. Good thing you didn't mail off that shifter. I have 1 extra mirror you can have if you need it. For that matter, if anyone needs a breadbox, let me know, I finally got my Forcewinder installed on mine. Let me know how you fare on the tank, I'm going to have to sand mine down and repaint it. I couldn't find an autobody shop near me that would sand/repaint my tank. | ||
| Chasespeed |
I got hooked up on tank from someone here... as far as the sift goes....uh...yeah....lmao anyway, i snapped off the RIGHT side mirror, dontknow how...but the left one is htere... anyway, time to strip her of damage... Chase | ||
| Chasespeed |
OK, she is up and running, and road worthy, though I discovered, I am not yet..but hey... Anyway, the crossroads bars adn rear sets, defiantly make htis a whole different bike, and I love it...feels....more.....sporty..I dunno... Cnat wait until me knee and shoulder are up to a thurough test run.... Thanx for everyones help...she is gonna be ugly for while...but its ridable. Chase | ||
| Denfromphilly |

| Road_thing |
Den, that's a safe statement! What the heck IS that thing? rt | ||
| Chasespeed |
NO yoru right....as long as you look at it from the right side...it sint all that bad...lol... I am serisouly considering one of those front faring from AirTech Streamliner....the Rogue...liek the looks...who knows.... Chase | ||
| Denfromphilly |
Some Finnish or German custom creation with a car motor. I saved it as it was purely the ugliest two wheel vehicle I ever saw. Looks like some kind of bizarre articulated one sided swingarm steering too. This thing is so monstrous it should be preserved in a museum. This one is pretty bad too but it pales compared to the gargoyle above.  | ||
| Buelliedan |
Man, I love that black thing with the car engine above! I would ride the hell outa that thing! | ||
| Oldog |
theyer both fuggly the second one looks like a "vikking bike" sorta  | ||
| Road_thing |
Yup, a definite rat. The pineapple on the MC cover is a nice touch... rt | ||
| Denfromphilly |
I would pay to park either one at my local Harley dealer for a couple hours on a busy saturday afternoon. The rat one would be the perfect HD for me. Check out www.ratbike.org and the euro rat bikes like the dutch rat. The guy paints the bike with battery acid for that special look... (Message edited by denfromphilly on July 22, 2005) | ||
