i got home with the bike last night about 3 Oclock in the morning .....i just left the bike on the trailer and worked on there seemed the perfect place to work on it ....this is what ive found out so far .....tim took a heck of a hit and so did the bike i couldnt beleave some of the stuff that happened ....
bent the front axcle
broke one of the rotors
bent the tripple tree stem ...couldnt hardly beleave that bent it a lot
its very likely bent the frame at the tripple tree not sure yet
things ive done today
replaced front forks and the tripple tree......put it all back together and went for a very short ride.....the broke rotor wobbles bad and bike seems to shimmy it might just be the rotor or the wheel itself may also be bent .....iwould think it would have broke being cast 83 wheel im hoping its not ....anyway i only went a few hundred yards and parked it i was done for the day
things i need to find out .....
this is an 83 interstate and dose not have vented rotors .....will an 80 81 rotor work on this as far as set back from the wheel ...they sure dont look the same as in looks i havnt done any measuring yet....
ok 1100 dresser guys ive got all the stuff brackets and all .....can enybody post some pointers i might need to know as i dont know anything at all about putting it on or where it hooks up anything at all is more than i know at this moment.....
tack works real slow and the bars have risers on them and i think i can reroute the cable to take care of that....
things that are good
motor seems to run well and not much noise at all ....it needs some ATF treatments as i think the carbs are alittle gunked up from sitting since the wreck
the bike is still pretty and damage is not going to be major i dont think i will be glad to get to this point as it will mean ive got the bike riding well
seems oldhack somehow took out the turn signal hardware at the handgrip
worst case outcome
the whole whole bike needs to be put in another frame .....this is highly likely i should know tommarrow ......the good thing is i have one with paper...
thats what i know so far .....im realy going to enjoy this bike and have wanted one for yrs thanks tim so much ...... :mrgreen:
