Need parts...I did a bad, bad thing...where do I send the 5$?

[LLonearth]

I must have had a worse day...just cannot remember it now. As I was winching the 87 VR up on the Volvo semi for the trip to the Rio Grande Valley for the winter I slipped on the ramp and lost my balance which resulted in a drop test from about 2.5 feet. It landed on the right handlebar which bent severely and main fairing which cracked in several places. I guess my stupidity will cost me 5$? Not to mention much more than that in plastic repairs. Does the stupid fund accept Paypal?

 

I have a spare handlebar but need another right fairing and the parts that hold the speaker and a right front turn signal. I'll be monitoring ebay but wondered if any here had spares for sale. Thanks.

Glad you're OK but sorry to hear about your bike. I have a faring off of an '86 two tone brown. I'll take a look at it tonight and see if I can get a pic or two for you.

Thanks, guys. Let me get settled down here in Mercedes, TX and I'll get back to you. You're right, it could have been much worse. There was that one moment where I could have pulled real hard and pulled the bike the other way which could have resulted in me falling backwards and the bike then falling on me. Nothing was damaged except for my bike and my pride. Not so bad as I have been working on being more humble.
