Did something similar on my R6 pulled front brake because some tool decided to emergency brake as people were waiting on the side of the road but weren't even going to cross. But about the same damage on right side. Managed to fill the scratches and repaint the upper fairing (installing the indicators is a pain to get through fairing and clip in) snapped a footpeg and sort of tripped over the bike and landed on my knees in full gear so only a bit of bruising mine was pretty slow though about 10mph as i'd already took the brunt of speed down but i think i hit some oil in the road and the front just pulled out from under me. First time i'd been down on a bike was pretty gutting to say the least and the driver in front just took off Glad you walked away hopefully the bike isn't too much of pita to fix
Thank you - yes it sure is a bit gutting, worse is when you pick it up off the floor and reveal the damage. I’ve replaced a front indicator before after I knocked it off when it was parked in my garage. I found that by submerging the firm rubber in hot water for a short time that it made it temporarily flexible enough to mount into the fairing.
@@bikenut I could of done with that piece of information a week ago as i tried and failed to get them into the fairing so i just opted for some flush fitted ones Glad you are planning on fixing it though rather than just writing it off its a beauty
Glad to see you are OK, now get right back on that horse. Simple as that.
Roger that! I can’t wait to get back on it
😢
Yes gutted, but it will be road ready again very soon.

be interesting to see you bring it back to it's original condition rather than do the classic swap it for a newer bike.
Restoring this is my absolute intention. I’ve had the bike too long to give up on it. As long as the new subframe aligns then it’s game on!
@@bikenut GOOD MAN! I believe you can do it!
Очень жалко, у самого такой же ))) удачи
Thank you. Hopefully will be all good again soon.
Sorry to hear this buddy,
I hope you are okay.
However are you able to do a video on your tail tidy with the under tray links etc. cheers
Hi - thank you, yes I will spend a bit of time showing that for you on the next video.
