Want to upgrade from my matte black side covers on my 2020 883. I'm trying to do some carbon accents on the bike and would like some carbon side covers, but the only ones I can find are cheap plastic ones on Amazon and Ebay. Anyone know of any quality carbon side covers for the Iron? Otherwise I reckon I'll paint the ones I have.
And it wasn't the end of the world. I dropped the bike at the MSF course last year one time but since getting my own I haven't dropped it. I've had mine for about 7 months now. Put a few hundred miles on it. I've been scared of dropping it since I brought it home. This morning as soon as I started moving I wasn't confident in what I was doing and it toppled over. I thought to myself "Fuck I can't believe I just did that. I hope I can pick it back up. Maybe today just isn't my day to ride". I put the kickstand out and picked it up the way they showed me at the MSF course and it was surprisingly light and easy. There was basically 0 damage outside of a few marks on the crash bar end rubber. It would have been easy to just call the whole ride off, put it back where it was, and go back inside defeated. But I got back on it and rode it and everything was fine. As new riders it is easy to get in our heads and think of worst case scenarios. I'm glad it happened bc it made me get out of my head about it and realize it's not a big deal. So if you're afraid of doing the same thing just know it's really not that bad and if it happens to you, get back on the saddle and shake it off. Anyways that's my wall of text for the day. Ride safe and have fun out there.
