I've decided to fix the Broom, so I'm looking for stock parts for a 99 RSV that you may have in your garage. I need handlebars, windshield right front fork, .........and other assorted goodies.

 

Last Sunday, for some unknown reason, I grabbed the front brake going into a left turn. Locked it up, skidded accross the road and landed upside down. Go figure, the weekend before I drove 500 miles to Gettysburg and back without incident, this happened 25 miles from home.

 

Just had routine maintenance done by Earl, aka SkyDoc, and he did a great job! There wasn't one leak or drip when it was upside down or even after being righted!

 

Hope it will be on the road in time for Oberlin, so I can get those pretty pinstripes back.

lucked out - 8 stitches in right knee, 4 stitches in side my lip, slightly broken nose that won't need set, sore shoulder

I was driving, the only thing in the sidecar was a bag of groceries :) Boyfriend was behind me and said all he saw was a ball of dust.

 

I'll send notes to those of you that have listed parts.

 

THANKS!!!!
