woah ronayers has pretty much everything.. thanks alot man..e- bay is a good source as well im just tooo impatient.. thank to the both of you though.

Bikebandit.com is decent. Never ordered from them though. Ronayers.com is usually a tad cheaper.

That sucks. My month would be ruined. No note, no nothing, eh? Bastard should be castrated for the hit and run.

Find a board that is focused on your bike model.

I have a SV and I also hang out on SVRider.com
(RandyO is responsible for my presence here It is all his fault!)



The reason I mention this is there is always people that mod their bikes and they are letting the stock parts go for a dime on the dollar if not less!

Some stock parts you will never see, but others like turn signals, clipons, rear sets, mirrors, stock exhausts are dirt cheap and they usually like helping their own and will give them first dibs before putting it on ebay.

I am already collecting commonly broken parts for my SV. When the dealer quoted me 48 bucks for a front brake lever, I woke up and said screw that ... set of front signals for 20 bucks, dealer is close to 50 bucks each!

i had the same thing but with a car in a parking lot at work. i found the offending auto after a quick check of the other cars in the lot the next day. the driver fessed up when asked, "i knew i hit your car. i didn't think i did any damage.' IT WAS 1200 DOLLARS to repair! i wouldn't be shocked if someone saw this and is waiting to give you a report, ask around!
always park in lined parking with your wheel at the space limit. people get so excited when they see a "empty" spot; try to keep it visable to motorists. this is why so many use bicycle parking and sidewalks as mortorcycle parking. as long as you don't ride it onto the sidewalks why not? many companys have motorcycle only parking but when your on the street <arg> it's everyman for themselves.
sorry to hear of your trouble, need some help with this lemme know. garage , paint an repair till new parts arrive.....i'm in albion btw

hey thanks alot man i appreciate the offer. as of right now my major damage is on my windshield and my left mirror arm. so those things unfortunately i have to buy new.. the only other scratch that is visible is on my clutch cover.. It's really small, but it's the principle of it. If it were me and I hit someones bike i would fess up to it.. That's what insurance is for. So karma will get this guy... you said you were from albion huh? we should go for a ride sometime..

k, sure.
i guess you can be glad it wasn't worse; but hit and run sure does suk! as hayden says: no doubt.
