I met up with stevecbr900rr and Duey on 11/11 up in Malden for what turned out to be a really nice day for riding and shooting the shit.
Against how I normally go into the city, which is 495N to the Pike east, I decided to do 495S to 95N to 93N. On the way up the Expressway, I was behind a minivan that kicked up what looked like a 2 foot section of 4x4 wood. It felt like it hit my left peg and bounced off the side of my rear wheel. I looked for damage in that area and found none, so I thought I got off without a scratch...
...until today when I looked at my left lower and discovered a hole and a good sized crack. Luckily, there wasn't any damage done to the lower radiator hose, which was just inside where the 4x4 hit.
Now my bike is no longer extremely clean, so I'm pretty bummed. I looked into buying new plastic, but a new lower left and middle left (it was scratched too) is almost $500....YEOW!
Anyone do any bodywork? Photo below...
