Hello, I recently slid out on my 2020 Kawasaki Ninja Z650 with enough force to bend the handle bars and shift the front wheel to the left(see photos above). I wanted to ask how I should go about fixing this(if it's even worth doing so), the engine is working the only mechanical issues seam to be the handle bars and wheel alignment. How likely is it that the forks are bent and how can I check this? If they aren't bent how should I go about re-centering the wheel with the forks? I tried loosening the stem bolt, lower triple clamps, brakes, straitening and applying pressure like you would do with a dirt bike to re-center the wheel but I could only get it a about half way to strait. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Currently I only have an aftermarket horn, as the one given by Kawasaki wasn’t great.
Looking for some better suggestions!
I got my side bag set up put on today. @hepcobecker c-bow racks with the street reloaded bags. the layout required the original "stinger" tail plate and signal holder. But I was able to tweak it a little to keep my tail tidy and swapped out my wide factory signals for a set of @evotechperformance v1 led shorty turn signals. Using the bracket that came with the rack I was able to set the signals back enough to be seen. The plate is set inside the bags a little but hopefully it isn't an issue.
I love that the bags can be removed from the rack when not in use.
My biggest fear was that they would be these huge bulky bags that would ruin the asthetic of my bike. But I think this works!
Now I can commute so much easier without overloading a backpack. And it can help with longer rides and running small errands! Overall im super happy with this setup! Now I gotta test it.
I just have to figure out the quick flash that is happening after changing the turn signals lights.
Does anyone have the part number for the male part of this connector. It is under the pillion seat and I know it is used for accessories. I have been unable to find it online and ChatGPT thinks it’s a proprietary connector and looking at the wiring diagram left me befuddled
I rode for an errand this morning thinking that it'd be okay. But it was so windy that it was tough on my ride.
I had to keep leaning to the left to fight the wind gust hitting my bike (and me) on the left!
My ride is a Z650/
