I replaced the taillight lens on mine...

 Reason...I was riding into work a couple of Fridays ago when I hit a bloody huge pothole just before peeling off to the servo for gas. Christ it felt more like a crater, but anyways whist I'm fumbling with getting my helmet off ( hands were freezing and fingers numb ) a bloke comes over and tells me he was right behind me when I hit the pothole and saw my taillight explode and fly off everywhere! What the...? Sure enough I look behind me and all I've got is two screws left where the lens should've been! 

Shit so all I could do was ride on as is and hope there no rozzers about! 

Once home I ordered another with my mechanic Rob which took a week or so to arrive and I could pick it up and install.

So,I was able to ride into the office again yesterday with a taillight again without any dramas other than it was fookin FREEZING! I later found out it was 1 degree on our balcony and minus 1 ish on the Longwarry flats....Arghhhh. Glad I had the thermals on but it was murder on the hands. Oh well at least it was better on the ride home.. a balmy 8 degrees!

Be glad to see the arse end of this cold snap and more so the inept state government fixing these goat tracks they call a national highway! Although no one's holding their breath on that!

Anyways glad to report the green one is back to her glorious good- looking self again.

Cheers  

Ps forgot to mention that the lens was actually cracked in a couple of places and being 21 years old and with UV exposure the pothole was just the last straw! Anyways it gave ole mate Dave and Rob a good laugh!

That's a hard hit. You might want to check the edges of your rims. I bent the rear on my BMW hitting a pot hole. Didn't lose air and was repairable.

Thanks mate.

Thats the first thing I checked when I got to the office....

Both rims seem to be good!

I did have the same scenario on my GSXR 1100 back in the 80's which bent the front rim! I do wonder how these latest light weight rockets cope with these shithouse roads though.

I guess it's good to be a little er hefty and able to cope a bit better eh.

Cheers
