06CBRF4i -> Just flipped the bike :-(... link to pix now added (7/6/2006 7:03:17 PM)

Well, Im fine a big scrape on my knee ripped my jeans. some slight burns on my arms from the mesh inside my textile jacket and not a scratch on my helmet somehow?!?! I am not sure WTF happened. I accelerated somewhat hard,, went to shift into second around 10-11k for some reason wouldnt go into 2nd only Neutral so I think I down shifted back to first still at 10-11K i assume and I think I just let the clutch out to fast and next thing I know, Over she went!! I was on a back road so there were no other cars around but the bikes not too bad i guess, i dont know how much bike parts cost but I called the dealer i bought it from and they came and picked it and me up. and tomorrow they are gonna do an estimate. $100 for the full estimate and $50 for picking it up!!! WTF!!!

Well heres a list of what I know its need.

Windscreen
Headlights
the intake plastics
front fender
mirrors
digi speedo & tach
banana seat plastics
back left turn signal
shifter assembly ( the left rear set snapped)
and possibly the left handle bar assembly.
The mufflers scratched and bracket is bent but im not too worried about that.

Im sure theres some kind of hidden damage to the front fork or something I dont know about, that they will try to stick me with.

Does anyone know where I can get any of these parts?!?! oh yea and its a 2006 CBR F4i Candy Blue.

Also I think im screwed b/c i dont think my insurance will cover this?!?! I have liability only thru Foremost or gulf coast insurance something like that. it was like $400 for the yr. what do yall think is there a possiblity?!?! I called already to ask but they were closed already or on vacation or something. I will have to try back tomorrow.

I have a few pix. I will try to upload and post them.

I just want to go get drunk and sit in a corner.............[:(]



Click to see pix, I think this one will work?!?!

there are also a few more links on the 2nd page of this post

The dimension size isn't too large, the quality is too high. Save it with lower quality/number of pixels. Making the dimensions smaller will only help some. Try saving somewhere around 300 X 200 with a lower level of quality to get the filesize down.

Hope this helps.

good to hear you're in good shape bro you can fix our baby. I'm almost done getting my parts from flipping my. I needed a windscreen, upper, headlight, tank, tail, rear seat, mirrors, left switch pod and upper bracket I think I'll be spend around 1k. I coulda spent more if I just hurried up but I coulda paid less with a little more paitence. But I figure two months is long enough lol. Just keep your eye out on the forums or at the least get your parts onine like 58cycle.com or ronayers.com good luck bro

dude i feel so bad for you. money is replaceable but your life isnt glad to see you made it ok.

mikem317 -> RE: Just flipped the bike :-(...... (7/6/2006 10:32:29 PM)

Ouch.

Don't downshift when you're in that engine speed, you're asking for it!

I buy all my OEM accessories/parts through www.bikebandit.com.

alekinci -> RE: Just flipped the bike :-(...... (7/6/2006 10:50:57 PM)

Man you should have looked at the previouis posts about shifting. Bad times right there for 06CBRF4i. Screw the bike; the main thing is you can walk away from this incident without the need for assistance.
I had to beat this into my head and still do. When something goes wrong, never react right away. Your first instinct is usually too drastic and equals hitting the floor. Give you self room and with enough room you will have time to make the right decision. Dont react on impulse, I know its hard. I fight it every time Im on the road, but resist it. Be safe.

bikesnjeeps -> RE: Just flipped the bike :-(...... (7/6/2006 11:12:14 PM)

can we say eBay!!! I am going through the same thing right now. Glad to hear you are alright. Machinery can be fixed some body parts don't do that too well. I am loving e-bay right now. Got some good stuff cheap. Also I don't think that your ins will cover being only liability. If you had comp it would be different. Perfect time to trick out your bike though. put on that sick undertail that you didn't want to cut the stock undertray for, get the custom smoked double bubble windscreen, yadda yadda.

greerstyl -> RE: Just flipped the bike :-(...... (7/6/2006 11:47:38 PM)

ok 1st of all. do not buy your parts from the dealer. you will get raped on the price. there going to tell you somewhere around $2000 from the description you told us. ebay will help you find all the parts at decent prices, way better than the dealers. i would suggest looking in the classified sections of this site. and post on the wanted forum in classifieds. you will save alot of money this way. i actually have some of the shit you need. but go get your bike as soon as possible. you are already $150 in the hole.

2nd bikesandjeeps has a really good point. aftermarket stuff is always cheaper, way cheaper, and now seems to be the time to do it. buy some cool shit and come back stronger. oh yeah and like i tell everyone. buy a cage. you would have saved so much money

greerstyl -> RE: Just flipped the bike :-(...... (7/6/2006 11:50:18 PM)

btw i have the headlights, turn signals, stock exhaust, gauges, and windscreen. i also have the subframe if you need it.

"the bikes not that bad I guess"

You guess? Not that bad? Dude you basically broke everything but the engine, frame and swingarm, I wouldn't consider that "not that bad". Sorry to hear about what happened dude but, what were you thinking? How long have you been riding? Is this your first bike?? You said dealer so I'm assuming it's an 06'??

06CBRF4i -> RE: Just flipped the bike :-(...... (7/7/2006 10:54:08 AM)

the frame and swing arm didnt break. At least not that I could tell. mainly seemed like all plastic parts except the muffler was slightly dented and scratched and that mounting tab was bent. Im not touching that it can stay that way, just bend it back out. I'lll end up getting a slip on eventually. the side ferrings engine cases/stator cover or whatever werent even touched no scratches it end up on its side in the grass and did most of the falling in the grass. I guess i was too close to the curb which could be a good thing I guess.? [&:] Well i should hear back from the deal today sometime with their quote to fix it all. But I think I might just have them replace the digi speedo & tach whatever might be wrong with the handle left bar and the left rear set/ gear lever. then bring it home let it sit and replace the rest little by little on my own.

I have found a few OEM parts suppliers online. However they dont state anything about colors?? Do the stock replacement parts just come black and have to be painted and decaled or can you get the stock replacement parts already the color you need them??

Thanks for the help.
