hammer + bent bar end = no fun
 

So I noticed my bar end was bent from my little incident at the gap. I decided to hammer it back straight, I totally broke the weight and got it stuck inside the clip on. Talk about a bitch to get out. Ordered a new one. Ghey...

that sucks man!


go grab a beer...

sux to be you. easier to straighten if you take them out first.

huh, need to remember this since mine is broke

I ordered me a set of R&G bar ends with replaceable pucks, a new bar end weight, driven grips that are suppose to be nicer than renthal, just to make myself feel a little better for the hammer mistake.

I don't see the problem, god is telling you to get woodcraft clipons.

not in the budget right now with the wedding and house stuff plus getting in more track days. I don't have a problem with stock anyway, much better stuff to buy for the bike than that right now. I want suspension goodies.

Reminds me...I need to order some sliders. Thanks.

I hear you on the money front...

But suspension goodies? I'd get that thing crash-proof first.... clipons, case covers, all your sliders, etc... woodcraft-cfm.com is your friend...

Plus lightweight wheels will make a bigger difference for you now than suspension bits from what I've been told. You can get into the expert ranks before you need suspension.

Whoever told you that doesn't have enough money for suspension. The right suspension is a thing of wonder. Plus I have done adjusted the best I could to the stock shit and it is still not right for me.

Nothing is crash proof, plus I can get used stock replacements for cheaper than any woodcraft replacement. Their skid pads hardly ever protect the case cover from getting rashed up from what I have seen of the ones that have gone down. Waste of money to me to buy something that costs double that still is going to get rashed. They may take a little more of a beating, but they still look like shit after sliding across the asphalt and then you have to chunk out more money to get another skid pad and that is like 1/2 the cost of buying a stock used part on fleabay. The skid pad still doesn't replace the scratched up case cover either.
