My GS post accident

[Rocket Power]

Well I took off the fairing and looked at the triple clamps, no cracks I can see. Looks like the fork seals are smoked judging by the oil its leaving on the left tube and a little less on the right. Looks like the forks bottomed out too looking at the dirt line on the forks. Forks themselves "look" ok and I'll throw a straight edge on them when I replace the seals.

So all in all not too bad.

No broken bones.

forkseals
left mirror.

Glad your okay. Big kick in the nuts for the douche bag with no insurance. ( Why in gods name would you drive with no insurance in a sue happy world)

[GTSLOW]

Wow good news your ok. Hopefully the tally $$ isn't to bad.

[Rocket Power]

I don't think it'll be too bad. $100 for the new windscreen, but that can wait. $30 or so for fork seals. Looks like the front fender hit too because the paint is chipping now and it has flex cracks in the paint. A mirror can't be too bad for a used one. As long as the forks are still straight it should be under $200. It still runs good so that's a plus

i am sure they are different but I have stock mirrors off my srad you can have if they would work for you. didnt know but thought I would offer.

Glad to hear you are okay. Story could have been way different

I agree it's stupid for a "realistic and mature" person to be driving around with no insurance. But if they can't afford insurance, then they probably aren't the best off financially, so a lawsuit would be pointless, haha.

i know what you are getting at though for sure. Can't wait for July, when it will be against the law and these people can actually be punished for no insurance.

Very true. I guess the only way I could see it is if it's their beater very occasional use work truck?

thought it was june? i gata get my ass in gear and get the busa insured been putting it off to long

[Rocket Power]

I believe its June 1st

[Rocket Power]

Well got the forks apart today. Tubes are straight
Just have to get the seals. Man is old fork oil nasty

[Rocket Power]

Ordered the fork seals today from Ride. Same price as Dennis Kirk and I don't have to pay shipping

[Rocket Power]

Seals are in, going to pick them up tomorrow. Hopefully I'll remember how to put the forks back together.

[Rocket Power]

Got everything back together,take it out of the garage...... and no spark
Checked all the connections, I didn't disconnect any wires when I was messing with the frontend. Noticed the voltage dropped under 12 v when cranking, hopefully that's it. Its on the charger now. When I first got it I found out it wouldn't spark even if there was enough voltage to turn it over.

[Rocket Power]

Well it wasn't low battery,
Hopefully somehow a wire got disconnected, otherwise it could get expensive. Look into it more tomorrow.

[Rocket Power]

Wouldn't you know it's the ignitor. The most expensive part it could be. Over $500 new, and is only a 2 year part 83 750 and 85 700 so used isn't easy to find and expensive when you do.

[Rocket Power]

Woohoo Found a guy that sold me one for $50 shipped, just have to wait for it to come now

[RanJer]

Very nice! Back on the road soon!

[Prince Valiant]

yeesh! 500 for a new igniter? Glad you found a used one...
