Dropped her
Not the neighbor boy, or my worthless brother-in-law, or my uncle, but me. Yes me. I dropped my 07 1200 custom. It was the edge of the driveway and grass. It had been raining so the grass was real soft.
Got mud on the left mirror and left side of the seat. Scuffed the underside of the left peg. No big deal.
Scuffed up the chrome somewhat on the rear turn signal, but I polished on it and you can't really tell unless you really look hard.
Thought I was home free but noticed that the left rear turn signal was bent slightly down. Nothing else is hurt, but I really want to get the rear turn signal back the way it was. DoI have to buy that whole chrome piece that runs along the fender that the turn signal is connected to or can you buy just the turn signal?

Too bad it happend but don't beat yourself up about it. it happens and sounds like the damage is minor.
You can get a replacemant signal housing, it unbolts from behind the chrome strip.

I dropped my deuce right into the old lady car, the only thing hurt was my pride and about 500 dollars in damage to the old ladys car.

RE: Dropped her
Glad you didn't do more damage.It does happen to everyone though...
My husband did that yesterday when we were almost home from a nice ride... at a complete stop at a red light. One second he is sitting right next to me, and the next, he is on the ground. He went to get something out of his pocket and forgot that the bike was in gear and it jerked forward and he dropped it. Broke the turn signal again (not his first time dropping it)...embarrassed him more than anything. His is a Suzuki Vstrom though, more of a dual sport bike... takes being dropped a lotbetter than a Harley does.

So more that likly, when it fell over it bent the bolt on the signal housing that bolts to the chrome strip that runs along the rear fender? Anybody know how much a signal housing costs?I can put it on muyself.
