Exclamation broken frame?

hey guys i layed my bike down pretty hard on its right side. hit a patch of dirt i didnt see and slide into a drain on the side of the road, bike went up over the curb and my right frame slider dug through the grass and and hit the wall of the concrete drain and bent the slider into the fairing and broke fairing. my concern is that when the slider bent in it broke the tip of the frame and bent the mount back at bit, lemme know what yall think ill have pictures up soon. doesnt look too bad but my bikes fluid light was going off as well. but no fluid leaks anyways let me know what you guys think i could use anything at this point.

Re: broken frame?

gsxr frames do have a tendency to break. mine broke at the neck just from learning on it and rattrapping too much. i hardly ever pancaked the thing or ran it into a ditch or anything crazy like that. frame sliders will always do more bad than good unless you just tip the bike over in your garage.....gotta get the jungle gym protection
