Hey guys I took a spill 2 weeks ago (swerved on a curve to avoid a bigger wreck and took out a 4x4 mailbox with my hip and broke my pelvis) and need some info on fixing up the poor bike since I am going to make a full recovery. The gear shift rod and selector got bent and unusable. Does anyone know of where I can purchase one to fix it or will I have to go through my dealer? Besides the gear changing mechanism everything else wrong with the bike is cosmetic which is good and probably keeping the repairs below $500.
As for myself I broke my pelvis on the right side about my hip socket. While it is painful it is not load baring at all so in a total of 6-8 weeks I will be fully recovered. I was wearing my helmet, gloves, thick hoodie, and J. Crew Jeans (I had to put the name to the jeans, I slid for a bit after i blew up the mailbox with my hip and the jeans did not rip at all and I suffered no other injuries or road rash which is amazing).
This is really really disappointing as the bike is something that I have saved for a long time for and was something I was beginning to truly love and I do not think my family and girlfriend will accept anything but me selling the bike now
I am looking to part it out over the winter to fix up the cosmetic stuff but really would like to get the Gear shift selector and rod done soon so when I am healed I can at least puts around my neighborhood and make sure it rides fine.
Thanks Pals!
