Motorcycle/Deer Accident...please help!

Postby Pedros_Panther » Sat May 30, 2009 7:04 pm

Hey Guys,
I was just in an accident with a deer yesterday on my black panther in rural Wisconsin :evil: . I smashed up the plastics pretty bad and almost snapped the bars off the triple clamp in addition to a mashed brake lever and numerous scrapes. It looks like there is no serious structural damage at this point but I haven't been able to look at it closely yet....I've seen better days myself :cry: . I really need new side plastics(at least a left front fairing and a right rear panel). If anyone has any ideas for these parts please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the support,
Pete

Thanks Dave, I've already contacted Grahams and am awaiting there reply on prices (do they list prices on the website anywhere?). Anyways, I was hoping there was a closer supplier or maybe someone on here who miraculously had a spare set of plastics :roll: . My current plan is to get the acerbis supermoto front fender (and rad guards), renthal fatbars, eventually new hand levers (they are scraped up but luckily not broken), maybe make a new rear brake pedal, etc..... :?

Thanks again,
Pete

there is a link on grahams website for all the part numbers and a seperate link for all prices
but when i have tried to look at the price link i just get a blank page ?
but i have not tried that hard as they are only 1 mile up the road from me . but if the radiator sheilds are much money i dont think i would bother with them as i think the baghira looks just as good without them 8)

Sorry to hear about the crash, Pete. Also sorry, but I'm hoarding all the extra plastics I have (you'll find out why when you get your price quote)! Acerbis front Sumo fender works fine, but it'll look a little stunted compared to the big MZ version that fits the look of the side panels better. Nonetheless, it's a helluva lot less expensive than an OEM part. Crash guards and the like are a great idea, but do some research for posts here on the site--with all our switch gear and such, some fit better than others. I have Powermadd guards with wrap-around protection and love them, but they're a very tight fit. If you lost any blinkers in the mix-up, take a look at Buell blinkers--they're shorter and have more flexible stalks than our MZ oem stuff...

Good luck!

Hi
German ebay is a good source of used parts for the Baggi.

Well,
finally got the bike back on the road after two weeks of slaving away over it. I ended up piecing the plastics back together with fiberglass and bondo, but they work for now and that's all that matters. I just flipped around what was left of the front fender and bolted it back on, I have to say it looks pretty good. Had to fix an outlet on the left radiator that got jammed into the engine case, put new h-bars on, mounted the headlight and instruments to the forks (the old bracket was all bent up). A few other repairs here and there and we're back on the road! :smt041
I'll attach a pic...or try. Haven't attached to one of these posts before.
