Angry Dumped it.
So I was out riding the other day and a little girl ran out in front of me, leaving me no choice but to lay it down.
Mostly cosmetic damage (bars, lights, etc...) but there is a crack on the right side on top of the rear brake lever. I am hoping its just a cover. Any info would be appreciated.

What bike is it? You may need to take a picture a little further back so I can see what part that is. It's hard to identify from the close-up

It's a 96 xl883 low. It seems to be a belt guard with the rear brake pedal going through it... Thanx

You had a choice. run the child over it isn't you or your bike's fault she was unsupervised and doing something stupid. It would have taught the parents and the child a valuable lesson.
