Hi there,
I must say I didn't think my first post here would be about this. Let me give you a bit of background first. My Dad owned the GS in question and unfortunately passed away at the end of August, so the bike was passed on to me. My dad's approach to maintenance was to leave everything alone. So after a few months of work servicing and replacing and getting the bike back on the road, I took it for it's first trip. Unfortunately on that trip I hit a patch of oil on the road and the bike went down. I got the bike home ok and most of the damage is superficial and easily fixed. However the front sub frame/bracket is pointing downwards now. I'm hoping the frame is bent but having looked it seems ok, which worries me. I was just wondering if anyone has/could take a picture of the bracket especially where it meets the headstock and the clearance between it and the tank. I'm hoping that will show whether it is out of shape or whether something else is bent.
Thanks,
Gareth
