shiny-side-down WTB left side parts :(

[nevermad]

well....need to replace everything on the left side that you would expect to be damaged in 30mph drop & slide.

windscreen
grip (wanted new anyway)
clutch lever
crash bars - man did these hold up well...took all the hurt
left hard-bag handle (seems difficult to find)
wanted new handlebars anyway so those too
fire&steel turn signal (+visor)
headlight (+visor)
front fender chrome tip

Replacement sources for some items are straight forward but I'm just posting here to get any advice that's out there. Would like to save where I can and not make any mistakes - on handlebars for example.

Thanks!

Id check Ebay for some of those items, if your timings right you should be able to find some of that stuff at a good price.

[rickyboy]

have a look at this nevermad...I don't know anything about YOUR bike. The yr. etc. I was just browsing ebay and remember seeing this. It isn't new and it might not be as good as what you have already I just saw it. I'd also go to http://www.bikebandit.com/

If you want another scratched latch I might be able to get you a scratched one for free instead of paying $50 for the one on e-bay.

Parts for a 1500 or 1600?

[nevermad]

thanks for the responses.

the bike in question is an 1500 (2002)

My latch works...it's just badly scratched and I wouldn't be interested in another scratched one....i'll keep looking...

I'll check out the cycletharapy site...thx

I would be interested in anyone's thoughts on aftermarket handlebars!

Another good source is http://stores.ebay.com/PinWall-Cycle-Parts-Inc I have dealt with them a few times, and since they are close by I have even picked up items and shipped them to buddies. Often a set of eyes to inspect are worth it when dealing with expensive items. Happy to help if I can.

Brian, you might try kawasakipartsnation.com. for some of your needs.
<s>I'm ordering</s> I just ordered Right side guards for Lucille after yesterday's incident. They are definitely cheaper than the dealer price and beat cheapcycleparts by 7 or 8 bucks each. $68 for the front and $67 for the rear.
Looks like I was a little more fortunate than you were, as my parts list stops with the guards and engine guard chaps after a drop at similar speed. Fortunate that I didnt broadside the "beast" that pulled across my lane and stopped; and more-so that Dear Baby Daughter and I didnt get worse than the roadrash we have.

[nevermad]

glad you and yours were ok :)

I ordered before reading ... your prices are good. I did find a wide range of prices for OEM parts but the best deal was far from home at www.powersedge.com


Thanks everyone!

hey Larry, sorry to hear of the incident. Real happy you and your's made it out OK. The bike can be fixed.

I would definitely check eBay and some of the online cycle parts places. If you go through dealers the left rear crash bar is $90 plus, the clutch lever and left mirror together are about $60 or $70 dollars. Don't ask me how I know. I replaced those on my 2008 Nomad. I will probably replace the left front crash bar and it will be around $90 through the dealer. I may check out eBay and see if anyone has one. My left saddlebag handle is scratched but I think I will live with it.

Thanks. Some folks have "a" Guardian Angel, I keep a squadron of them employed full-time

Sarah and I are healed, and Lucille's Rt side guards replaced. Left Engine guard on order. I didnt notice it pushed back until later. Sarah told me the next day "Dad, I need a new helmet since mine hit the concrete" She's a gamer. Her new lid has already been purchased.
