[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1397372, member: 11508"] You didn't mention it, except to say you "rashed the mirror," so I'm guessing and hoping that means that's all you did in that area. Is the mirror still stable and fixed? If yes, you're really pretty lucky and you should be glad that's all you did and stop stressing. It's depressingly common for even a low-speed tipover like you had to result in a broken internal "stay," the very brittle and weak internal frame that supports both mirrors. There are lots of threads about that damn part on the Gen III's. It's a damn big job to replace, and expensive too, but it has to be done since mirrors are completely useless flopping around in the wind. And riding without a mirror on each side is awful scary. DAMHIK. Scratches that don't affect performance don't mean much of anything in the long run. Enjoy the bike! [/QUOTE]
