Well, a friend of mine laid his 2007 R6 down yesterday - bad enough that I had to go pick him and the bike up with my truck. Sad, too, because it only has about 140 miles on it. He's fine, but the bike has pretty extensive damage. The damage that I found in shaking it down was as follows:
1) all plastics on left side scratched/scuffed
2) tail fairing destroyed
3) taillight destroyed
4) front stay snapped completely off
5) left side handle bar snapped off
6) frame slider on left side destroyed.
7) both front forks bent.
Now, I have a question for those of you who may have done this before....how hard are the front shocks to swap out? I have a head stand that I can lift the front with, so that isnt an issue. Also, where's a good place to get front shocks without paying an arm and a leg for them? I checked ebay and didnt see any.
Thanks in advance, all.
