Default first time dropping it...

Well you read it boys...finally dropped the ole girl. Nothing major damage wise. Just need a clutch lever and touch up paint for the bags. How hard is it to change the clutch and brake levers? Ive never done it on a hydraulic clutch. Also where can i find touch up paint. Is the dealer my best bet?

the hydraulic clutch lever is easier to change than the cable clutch lever, just need a small snap ring pliers, remove the pin and lever, reinstall same way.

Sorry. Yes Colorite is where I've bought paint. Hope you don't do it again, but now you don't have to worry about never having dropped it.

Sux to drop, I know too well. Glad it didn't cause any more trouble. For your clutch lever and bags to be damaged, then you must have dropped it pretty hard or maybe no engine or bag guards? How did it happen?
