RE: wiped out
Hey Ratt, sorry to hear about you troubles, glad your breathing. Hope the guy gets what he deserves. I have the stock mirrors off of my Custom your welcome to, also not sure if the rear shocks are the same,(12 5/8" eye to eye). Let us know and get up and riding soon, Jeff

RE: wiped out
Just to try and give you a ray of hope
A sport biker went down in front of me a year and a half ago. I did a highside trying to miss him. I landed 30 ft out in a field and my bike landed upside down in a barbed wire fence. After my 4 bone mostly healed I started putting the old gal back together and now she runs great and looks better than before IMO.
picts are a little dark but you can see she was damaged

If I can help with part I will
Today she looks like this

well on 4/25/08 I was on my way to work and in the HOV lane on 635 and some old man was going the wrong way and well i wiped out missing him. Let me explain this some they just opened this new part of the HOV and installed these plastic post with rubber bases and i run over them to misse the guy and lost control of the bike. Broke my leg and laid me up in bed for at least six weeks. I am so pissed it messed up my bike but its still fixable. I just hope i dont lose everything cause I cant work. If anyone out there can lend a guy a hand drop me a pm. I have not really looked at the bike yet so dont know what all I will be needing for that but I am more concerned about loseing my house truck bike ect. Well at least I am alive. Watch out for the people who are going the wrong way down one way areas.

RE: wiped out
OK, more updates needed as soon as possible. If you call all your creditors, both insurance companies, your work, etc, and still need stuff after all of that, I'm sure we can get the administers of this site to create a donation post for ya. Keep us updated, and when you have that info, get back to us...
Feel better, and whatever we can do, I'm sure will get done.
