TRiXy damage assessment












top fairing & mirrors etc
looks like the fairing frame can be saved, not sure about the clipon yet, its sheared a bolt that holds inplace on the top yoke but not sure if its bent
front wheel is big time buckled both sides and looks out of allignment too, dont think it'll be able to be straightened, also tyre will need replacing coz of the impact
gear lever, although it seems to have straightened out ok
left hand switch gear and clutch lever/mount
rear under try will either need reinforcing around the indicator mount or replacing as its cracked
zorst damage will mostly polish out (and then i'll swap them round so remaining scars are on the inside)
repaired the hole in the rear/side of the clocks today
alternator cover i luckily have a spare or 2 floating around, but prolly wont worry about changing it til service time
tank has a couple of minor dinks, not gonna worry unless a decent one turns up at silly money

Oh dear - not a pretty site!

most of the bits for fixing are now sorted, thanks to the wonderful members of this forum who either supplied me with cheap parts, or pointed me at ebay auctions for the bits i needed
only front wheel & fairing to sort out now.....

Nothing a roll of gaffertape (or two) can't fix!

Oh dear... My heart's bleeding! Good luck with rebuild.

Just though I'd say hi and introduce myself.....................
My name is Hutch (Warren) and I am the TRX crasher!!!!

Looks expensive, glad it's on the road to recovery though!

finally got trixy back together, still need the fairing painted and she needs a clean but thought a quick ride was in order
was just doing preride checks and noticed the fork seal was weeping, bounced up and down on it a couple of times and it just erupted
ended up rushing indoors for a rag to stop the oil getting to the calipers

hopefully its jsut a seal, they were soft as feck before the incident so guessing they just need a service
i've not done them so assume they are all original
