sorry to hear that happened to you. gravel can be a real monster sometimes. the piece your referring to is the grab bar, the black piece in between the rear cowls and seat, yeah. its is totally replaceable. i assume it would cost under 60 bucks or so to buy new.

Glad you came through that experience relatively intact. Heal up quick and get back to it.

Try $100 from stadiumyamaha.com, and that's the cheapest I could find. XTRAWLD is selling a like new one on here, but shipping from Canada to AUS can't be cheap.

I also lost a mirror and a few scratches on on the fairings

I have a bent the gear leaver It was a little bit of a mission to change gears but yes the bike works fine it's just got a few dent's in it

I just ordered a integrated tail light and fender eliminator i'm going to wait till those arrive before i put the bike in for repair...

it's just i called up my local wreckers and he said that part was connected to the whole duck tail??

still on the grab bar?well, whomever you spoke with lied or was not informed. i removed that piece last week to put my comp werkes fender eliminator on. thats the truth. "any +1's to this truth?" go outside remove your seat and look at the 6 screws connecting the piece to your tail.... situation controlled lol

sorry to hear about your mishap, but glad to hear you're ok. don't feel bad. it happens to all of us and is part of the learning process.. did u step on the rear brake or were you turning too fast in the gravel? whenever you see dirt or gravel try to slow down b4 u contact it, if possible. and, once you're on it and can't really brake effectively, try your best to ride it out with minimal steering jerks or changes. that is- u can go fast across gravel and u wont fall. what makes u fall is if u try to brake or turn suddenly. heal up soon and hope u get the bike fixed.

For all those trying to make sense of the Australian Lingo.

Shazzy = Chasis or Frame

Is that like a Snazzy Shazzy? LOL

Hope you are well. Keep the wheels down and your head upright.

thanks for pointing that out CC... yah- gradually slowing down by releasing the throttle- if ur going in a straight line- is what i would do too.

i'm not expert either, but i think if already contacting gravel it's best to remain steady and not suddenly accelerate/ decelerate or suddenly throw the weight of the bike around then chances of falling are much less.

I know you Aussies like to play hard but damn.

Glad you defeated evil and will live to fight another day. :thumbup:
