Does anyone have a set of handlebars for sale ?
K5 onwards (with the welded in bosses in the ends) preferred
But early ones would help if that's all that is about .
I had a small off at the weekend so need to get the bike fixed 😫

Heading home on very small rural roads in the northeast of England it had just started raining (very light but got the roads wet) I hit some oil/diesel on the road at about 20mph and the bike went down on the right hand side.

I got a little shake up sore rightarm and right knee my jacket and waterproof trousers are damaged but did there job .

The bike
Fairing got a big graze but didn't break is getting repainted this week
Vstrom handguard rh got dangled but saved everything else in the bars
Bars are bent getting replacement on Friday
Engine case (points cover) cracked and scrap (fixed it with gorilla tape and it got me the 135 Miles home) it's now replaced (i had a spare)
R&G crash button rh is scrap (saved most of the engine and other damage) already replaced with one from ebay
Rear brake leaver is bent ( I have a spare to replace it) but will try to straighten it .
Exhaust a fee small scratches but ut wasn't mint when j brought the bike and will be OK with a little TLC.

The bike somehow rode home the 134miles but was covered in oil .
It's stripped and now the repair has already started .

I was achy for 2 days
All will be OK after my first off in 25 years . :cheers:

owwww, sound a bit worse than you said. Is your right shoulder ok? 20mph is still fast to be kissing the road though.  Hope you get the bike sorted without too much hassle.  :onya:

Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

I've got a spare pair of the fake ones for later V-stroms, I can bung them in the post if you want undamaged ones, they aren't worth selling as no fitting kit with them so I've just slung them in the corner of the garage.

Sounds like you and the bike are well onto the mend  :onya:

Glad you managed to bounce back up by the sound of it.

It seems like you have the repairs well in hand, so hopefully you'll be back on the road soon.

Thanks to all
Yes I'm OK no real damage to me
The bike is well on the way to being fully repaired
Last thing I needed was bars and got them today so hopefully all fixed by the end of the weekend.
Thank for all the good wishes  :cheers:
