As Jmeiers said that is my worst nightmare too. I've heard some people say put a deer whistle on there, but I have also heard that may bring them to ya. Anyway glad your still with us. Bike looks really nice. Love the scalloped front fender and those turn sigs are cool. Couldn't figure out where they were until the close-up pic.

No kidding, I'm beginning to see the lure of being a snowbird! At least it's been a pretty mild one where I am.

Look at the house in the background. The turn sig is clipping the roof peak at the gable wall.

Bike looks good as always, glad to here your healing up too.
Now go out and kill some Bambi *** so we can keep our roads safe!
Just joking for any animal lovers out there!
Most likely if not running LED's now. You can tap into the wires for your front turns under your seat to add the LE there.

Having had the pleasure of riding highway 12 many times on the way to the ranch near Ryegate, deer have always been on my mind, they practically litter that road.
This crazy deer ran between oncoming traffic so I never even saw him until his butt was right in front of me.

Nice work on the rebuild! Hopefully your hand will mend and you will not have any long term effects.
