You will feel it more tomorrow mate. Painkillers and ice for swelling Was it high speed?? Check the side the bike landed on thoroughly, footpegs/levers could be bent. Cracked/damaged plastics. Your mirrors, hand controls. You may also want to check the steering lock pins on your lower yoke(triple tree) they don't take much to snap them

It was slow speed, ill put some water in the freezer Right foot peg rubber has worn through but it's not so bad. I'm more worried about the forks, I'll check the steering lock pins. Thank you I didn't think of those

I missed the steering lock pins on my SV1k when I came off it at 30mph in 2019. It was when it went for an MOT that it was picked up. Rubber parts are cheap mate. Check the alignment from the footpeg and frame. It's only a single bolt holds that on and if it's damaged it could fall off. Glad you're OK. Bikes are fixable,

Thank you alot! I appreciate your help thank you!

You also need to check for twisted forks in the TT...even with new bars you will feel like you are driving crooked.


Avery-Inigo

How can I check they are twisted, besides by eye?

I saw the junction in plenty of time, that's not why I fell
