MJ44 Posted July 28, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2012 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. http://s1133.photobucket.com/albums/m583/MaryJo44/Broom%20crash/?albumview=slideshow&track=share_email_album_view_click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted July 28, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 28, 2012 Wow! That looked like a nasty way to end a ride I could see cuts and scrapes... Nothing more serious I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted July 28, 2012 Share #3 Posted July 28, 2012 I have a windshield, and a set of handlebars that are slightly tweaked but probably useable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ44 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) 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!!!! Edited July 29, 2012 by MJ44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
