[QUOTE="SCB, post: 1283639, member: 21375"] Update - Got this done yesterday. Went pretty much as I expected, no ugly surprises halfway through. I did take pics all along the way and hope to post a pictorial but I am slow typing and haven't done much picture editing so not sure if or when I'll get that done. In the mean time here's the executive summary... Contrary to what the FSM says I did not have to remove the 'Air Filter Case' or drain the brake fluid, saving a great deal of time and aggravation. I did have to remove the tool tray to get to some of the wiring etc. but that was easier than I expected. I did not have to remove the rear wheel. Total time was exactly 3 hours start to finish. As with any memorable repair, I ended up with a couple 'extra' parts... [IMG]https://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj535/Butlerplan/2016-01-16%2012.33.18.jpg[/IMG] Wow, that's a big picture! Anybody want to tell me how to shrink it a bit? (Nevermind...I resized it in my P-Bucket and hit 'replace original' and it automatically got downsized here.) Anyway...It's a rubber grommet and plastic peg that had been inserted into it. Fell on the floor when I pulled the fender out. I assume it was broken off in the accident that damaged the fender. Interestingly I had found an identical grommet but without the peg on the garage floor soon after picking up the bike. Couldn't figure out where that one went either. Anybody have any ideas? That's it for now... [/QUOTE]
