 | +1 for Johnny P, SI, and OMR! Trying to catch idle in a spreader a few days ago and went down. I made a few squidlly mistakes that contributed to the wreck. I didn't realize how fast the bike was going to pull over with my 235 pound ass on the tank once I passed BP.......holy shit! Before I knew it, I was scraping......tried to give the HB a sqeeze, but was going too slow to pull it back over.......bike started to twist on the bar, and I bailed. Bike corkscrewed on the bar, then pancaked onto the upper left side. JP stay got bent down about an inch, but saved my new Magura and my FI clip-ons. SI cage took a big hit.......saved all my covers/plastics. My left passenger peg(ESD stunt peg) got smashed downward, as if a 600 pound man jumped up and down on it.......it was pointing towards the ground because the pin holding the peg in bent into a U shape, which allowed the peg to move away from the back-plate on the sub-cage, squishing the stabilizing corner of the peg, allowing it to rotate downward. Anyways, I would definetly be in need of a new pass. peg bracket if I didn't have the OMR subcage. After the wreck, I took a little break, then back at it to smooth my nerves. Well there was a car show down the street, and while I was getting comfortable on the bike again, pepes starting stoping to watch left and right, and before I knew it, we had like 20 people watching and chearing us on! It was just me and one of my boys, so we started mixing it up the best we could. It was a blast! I just wanted to share this story and give props on some VERY well made products. If I hadn't had one of these products, I probably would not have been able to do my first "show". I was very limited as to what I could do because I'm a squid w/ a small bag O tricks, and I had no left passenger peg. I did end up catching idle in a spreader during the "show", which helped out my confidence greatly. I'll stop rambling now..........THANK YOU to Johnny P, Ian(SI crew), and Roger for making bad-ass products that kept my bike rideable.......you guys rock! |

 | Re: +1 for Johnny P, SI, and OMR! sweet glad your happy and didn't get hurt too bad , sucks the peg got ruined but better just a peg then a whole rear peg bracket and possibly bending the mounting tabs on your subframe..  the bike coming down kind of backwards is about the only way the peg couldn't fold up so i guess you have giving it the worst case scenario |

| Re: +1 for Johnny P, SI, and OMR! Ha ha......yeah....definetly worst case scenario for the peg, BUT....I fixed it! I wasn't happy about the pin bending like it did, so I ground the holes in the sub-cage out to 1/4 inch. I used a dremel and ground out towards the back-plate so the holes would be closer to the back-plate instead of just drilling them, wheras they would've been in the same spot, just bigger. Then I used the dremel to grind out the holes in the peg, which I ground out towards the outside of the peg. By grinding the hole in the sub-cage one direction, and grinding the peg hole in the opposite direction, it allows the peg to be seated in the sub-cage notch a little deeper, allowing a little grinding room to re-flaten the back of the peg. Now it all fits perfect, just like it did before, BUT....I now have a 1/4 inch pin! So, all in all the wreck didn't cost me anything but some time in the garage.....woo hoo! Oh.....and all I came out of it with is a bruise on my leg! Thanks, Rog! |

| Re: +1 for Johnny P, SI, and OMR! Yeah, they're pretty burly......only damage it received was from the pin squishing the aluminum out of the way when it bent, but nothing major. I guess I should've given ESD props in the title, also. Thank you Ryan! |

| Re: +1 for Johnny P, SI, and OMR! Good to hear, if you dropped it hard enough to bend the ear in then you crashed pretty hard...Take a long M10 engine mounting bolt, or anything long that fits pretty tight into the tube section of my stay. And insert it into the bent tube pushing it in as close to where the bend starts as possible. And use the leverage of the bolt or rod to bend it back out as best as you can....You can get a few big hits bending those in, before it gets too mangled to bend back out...At that point if it limmits your turing you can always cut them off, ask me to make you a new piece that you can have welded back on or just rock it without the upper section...Either way the stay is still very usable and even fixable... The main idea is to keep you riding, Ive done the same at the spot and kept riding because of the stay Some shit will get cracked and or bent but your controls should be saved and your bike still ridable...Thats what counts |
