Your bike needed some TLC, if they aren't cracked that badly then I'd just fix them this winter and rattle can the entire bike at the same time (plus drill and install frame sliders!).
Just get it riding and enjoy what is left of the season. Make it pretty again in the winter.  |

UPDATE: Installed a few parts today,(clutch cable, clutch lever) and repaired some others( mirror, kickstand). Bike is now ridable. Probably going to end up buying new fairings in the winter and installing them next spring, or I may attempt to repair the current ones. Fairings as of now are still usable albeit scratched and cracked.
Hopefully no one will have to go through what I went through again. Thanks for all the support RS.
Henry
PS: To the person(s) who knocked over my bike:
Thanks for nothing you inconsiderate a*hole. You cost me time and money that I didn't have. I hope you learn to respect other peoples property, and man up if you f*cked up.

I'm glad that you're able to ride it now... but it's maddening to know you needed to throw out time and money that you wouldn't normally have had to if someone didn't mess with your bike.
Hell, even if somehow the guy sees this and fronts you cash for the repairs, I'm sure you'd be more than happy to keep him anonymous in exchange for a little decency on his part. Just man up.

I missed the event but I'm still in. whats the final cost to get your bike repaired? | Not a bad idea, I'd drop 5 bucks in if there was a PayPal or something set up.

Not someone who has a bike and if he couldn't really afford it he wouldn't of fixed it.
That being said it still sucks that you brought your bike to a car meet where everyone should be respecting each others rides and some tend to forget that.

Good luck!  | i understand your POV on this but common sense and respect for other people's property should be MORE than enough to prevent such an unnecessary accident.

Who wants to start a bit of a charity thing for helping him recoup some of the unnecessary money he had to spend on his bike?
I'm so down for this

Sucks for the OP, as any kind of accident blows let alone one that you didn't even cause. Best of luck getting your bike back to it's proper form. Quote:

My bike fell on its own when parked on ashphalt. | I'm mildly surprised that noone else has thought of this possibility. I have seen a bike fall over on it's own before.
As far as the helmet, my brothers dirtbike/motorbike helmet came with a thing saying that if it was ever dropped at all on pavement that it needs to be replaced (my ski helmet says this as well) due to tiny hairline fractures that can reduce the effectiveness of the helmet. I'm not sure if this is true or more of a precautionary thing that the manufacturer sticks on there so they can't get sued.

The wind was pretty intense on the day of the meet too..
I remember the RS tent lifted off on more than a few occasions.
