Dummped Bike
I was turning into my driveway after riding for 2 hours with no issues, went off the edge of the driveway, bike fell over at like 10mph, slid maybe 6 inches. It landed on the right side, I managed to step over and off as it tipped, so just the bike went down. None of the paint got scratched, just some chrome. The exhaust is scratched, as is the mirror arm, the brake lever, and the foot peg/brake is loose, it moves up and down, not just the foot peg, but also the brake pedal. I am concerned about that, not the scratches at all. I am not sure where to look or what to do to try to tighten it again, if possible. Would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

If you get down low you will see a great big lump of iron bolted to the frame. It is fixed in place with 2 cap head screws. I suspect you might of snapped one of them.
part #12 held on with 2 off part #3

I agree with Andy. It's either the bolt or the brake/foot peg mount bracket. Looking can confirm which one. The brake pedal and foot peg on your bike attaches to the same bracket.
The bolt is pretty common and the bracket can be ordered by you dealer.

I'm actually impressed with how well the foot pegs save these bikes... I just low sided mine on the highway, and the peg took the brunt of it.
As it later turned out, I'm not the first one to drop this bike, the peg was held with one bolt and the rest was really welded on...
