[QUOTE="Low Level FJR Pilot, post: 1456697, member: 5871"] Did the same thing in my Sister's driveway while visiting her in Hot Springs Village. Came up on a ridge where the roadway met her driveway. Stopped, but lost my footing and dropped the bike. Because of the angle, the bike went over even further than it should have and I had the wheels at almost a 15 degree angle in the air. When we got it upright, I noticed my mirror laying on the ground. I thought I'd just snapped the mirror and I could get a new one. Turned out it snapped off the plastic from the fairing and the stay metal too. I have all the parts on order from Partzilla and plan to fix the bike and put it back to 100%. The bad part is, the main plastic won't come in until May 29th. Total cost for parts is a bit over $650. I will do most of the scratch repair myself and then get the parts painted in a local shop. Good luck. I'm just not a fan of JB weld and other items listed on this thread. I will sell the bike knowing the next owner won't have to worry about a fix that could bite them in the tail. [/QUOTE]
