old hippy Posted September 6, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 6, 2007 I feel for you. Lady turned left on me friday and hit the bike. I'm sure the bike is totaled. Those parts are trashed or you could have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted September 6, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 6, 2007 You can have the fairing off of my '85, Scott, but I can't help you with the fairing insert. Cage on down as soon as you can but we will be gone for the weekend, as you already know. We will be heading back Sunday afternoon if you wanted to come down then... EDIT: My bad, I only have the RIGHT side. I threw the left side out as it was missing a major portion or it. I do have the turn signal, though, and will bring with me this weekend and give it to BradT or someone else closer to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted September 7, 2007 Share #5 Posted September 7, 2007 Scot Sorry to hear about that. Hope your okay, you didn't say, but from the post I am thinking all is okay. Bet the concrete felt some effects of you and the bike falling though. (sorry). Scot did you try Zdeno 519 745-7010 Anyway Bongobob, bring it up and we can get it to him.

cmiles3 Posted September 7, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 7, 2007 If this bunch can't get them for you, I've got some spare parts to sell. I think the left fairings need some work but they're fixable. I'm working on an '83 at the moment, so if you'd look at the Yamaha parts list and let me know which radio panels you're needing it would help.

mother Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted September 7, 2007 i just got in from the hospital, x-rayed left hip, left ankle, right hand, nothing broken, whew, i should be good to ride tomorrow. okay i'm dreaming. left hip is really swollen and i am limping, but hey i am still here. i was so close to centre punching her car door with the bike, that was too close. i went down hard on the left side of the bike, she took a beating. i guess it would have been cool to see the sparks and stuff. the lady who could not speak any ingrish, sorry english, was charged with making an improper turn by the police. having a stiff drink right now, taking two asperins and hitten the sack. cheers, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted September 7, 2007 Share #8 Posted September 7, 2007 Know how you feel mother, going down is no fun, glad to hear your in one piece for the most part though. PS if she was charged you should have no problem getting it fixed through insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relic Posted September 7, 2007 Share #10 Posted September 7, 2007 Scott: Sorry to hear this one as Dianne and I have been thinking of you and Sherry all summer wondering about getting together. It has been real busy. Glad you are ok and I know you will fix the bike but in the meantime you will just have to be the passenger on Sherry's bike!!!!!!. Stay in touch.

Wizard765 Posted September 7, 2007 Share #11 Posted September 7, 2007 Hi Scott: Too bad it wasn't a right fairing. Anyhow I smacked my bike in the spring and was back up and running in about two weeks. Got the right fairing from eBay and it was even the right colour. It ain't perfect but it works. I have a spare as well but here is a left on on eBay right now.

Guest BluesLover Posted September 7, 2007 Share #12 Posted September 7, 2007 Hey Scott - glad to hear that you're (relatively) ok, so sorry to hear about the bike. Unfortunately, I can't help you with parts for the 1st gen. Best of luck! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary N. Posted September 10, 2007 Share #14 Posted September 10, 2007 Scott, Sorry to hear about your accident but glad you're OK. Don't be too quick to sign off with her insurance. Might be a good idea to talk to a lawyer too. Hope you find the parts you need or maybe get enough pain and suffering cash to get a 2nd gen.

FROG MAN Posted September 12, 2007 Share #19 Posted September 12, 2007 Hey scott I'll keep you in mind on my 86. I'll start parting it out in November. To much to do right now. The rear brake caliber and headlight assembly are already spoken for. I'll post some closeup photos before it hits Ebay one piece at a time. The odometer says 90K but I was told it only has 67K on it. The engine runs strong and puts you in those 3 digit numbers quick. No oil leaks either. It has a nice Markland hitch to.

mother Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share #20 Posted October 11, 2007 insurance got back to me, over 3,000 bucks damage, they told me they almost wrote it off, and its all cosmetic damage. thanks Venturerider.org members for getting me in touch with places to source parts, and thank you Bongobob for the parts you donated. once the insurance gets their butt in gear and makes a settlement, (who knows how long this is going to take, been 5 weeks already) then i will start making the swap to the newer parts that i now have. *note: i am still looking for the left plastic speaker/panel if anyone has one for sale. cheers, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilCruise Posted October 11, 2007 Share #21 Posted October 11, 2007 I'm traveling for work this week but have a couple of requests to check on over the weekend. I ave a fair amount of odds and ends in a storage unit. I seem to recall that I have one that's faded with a few cracks. I need to go there this weekend anyway so I'll have a look and see if I have it. I'll give you an update on availability and condition once I get there. If I do have one that works for you it's yours for the cost of shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
