Damage from dropping bike
Last month, on my first ride on my '04 Nomad, I dropped it on the right side to avoid hitting a car that turned in front of me. The insurance agent came and checked out the bike and measured the handlebar. He determined that the handlebar was slightly bent and I ordered a new one. I haven't installed it yet. However, after looking it over there is a dent in the front of the chrome speedo cover. When I turn the handlebar to the stop to the left, the left riser clears the chrome by 1/32" but when I turn to the right, the riser on that side contacts the chrome piece. Is it possible the right riser is bent instead of the handlebar? Has anyone had that happen before? I bought it used but they appear to be Phat II polished risers.
Thanks in advance for any helpyou can give me regarding this problem. T.L. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
