riding my 05 r3 in the fallen warriors poker run at my local american legion post and the bike and i went down due to a severe rut in the road and some misplaced gravel. I thought i would have seen this and been able to avoid it but that did not happen. I am currently very sore and stiff but for the most part still intact. To get the bike back to road worthy I am currently looking for the following parts. I will reluctantly go to the local "stealer" for the parts that I cannot locate in a timely manner from other sources.
Needed to be road worthy-
Rt mirror
left turn signal front
bottom yoke/triple tree
needed to return bike to aesthetically appealing-
front fender and chromed tip
top center of radiator shroud
petro tank
windshield
triumph highway peg bracket only rt side
front floor boards boards
heel to toe shifter
I will be actively checking fleabay and other used sources but I just thought maybe there were some on here who would have some of these stock items due to various mod's. Willing to purchase pairs if needed thanks for reading. Btw in ohio there is only about 6 wks left in the riding season so needless to say I am anxious. Could have been a lot worse. Cell # 330-465-5284 or pm me thx again

I have a roadster screen sans hardware hanging on the wall taking up space. You can have it for shipping and a fifth of Jim Beam Rye.
 
Sorry to hear about your accident. I have a right-side mirror that I will ship you FOC....

Just PM me your name and address and I'll get it out to you.
 
I'm very sorry to hear you dropped the Rocket, but glad to hear you're OK.

I don't think I have any of the parts you need, but will go through my garage and see what I have. I may have a few extra parts for my R3T that might fit your bike.

thx for the thoughts to all and I have just sent pms to ugarte and gkiller so hopefully i sent them correctly. Thanks dandiego and sweettenbabe for the thoughts, couldnt agree more that human parts are harder to replace and for that i am thankful that i am still intact. cheers and by the way jim beam is an effective pain killer.
 
Hope you get better...sorry to hear about the accident...and I hope you have good luck in getting most if not all of the parts you need.

Hopefully I will continue to avoid something similar when I finish up my long ride back from Baxter's tomorrow.

Sorry about the spill=glad you are all right.
I just ordered new mirrors for mine-if you don't have any hits for mirrors in a couple weeks-let me know and I'll send you my old ones. They are like new w/o blemishes.

I love this site!!!!!!!:D, everybody helping a fellow captain:)
Glad you are alive and kicking!!!!!
 
thanks for all of your responses and well wishes. Body is road ready in 7-10 days - bike will hopefully be ready in that same time. I guess until then I will be relegated to window licking :eek::p:eek::p i guess that is better than it could have been.
