Sounds like just about the best outcome from a bad situation. Glad to hear you came out standing up.

Wow, that sucks! I am glad you are OK and thank you for the reminder to watch out. Kudos to the Dealership for taking care of the spot afterwards.

I'm very much looking forward to the "after" photos!

Good luck and be safe!

Keep an eye on the touring parts section.

Saddlebags guards pop up there for cheap, but go fast! Also all the other spots too, Craig'sList, etc.

Even exhaust as well.

Happy to hear you were not injured, anytime you go down it can be really bad. Appears that all will end up just fine.

I've decided against doing the extended bags. I don't ride real aggressive but I would be too worried about scraping them around here, so gonna do the regular bags.

I've already got everything added up and all the parts sourced, just waiting on insurance now. Ordered the Jackpot 2/1/2 header and Hi Roller mufflers. Everything else I will order from boardtracker, total for me to do it is about 3800 including the upgrades I want to do.

Stretched bags to come with skid plates, or can be purchased for cheap.

Just in case you didn't know. Also check out Eastern Performance Cycles and/or FairingFactory.com. Real good prices!

CVO tail lights too.

Last time I had an accident, with my car, insurance money went straight to the repair shop. I did not could not get the money in my hand to spend as I wanted to, take a short-cut and pocket the rest. So not sure I saw the "save the money" part unless your insurance works differently

Nice looking bike BTW
