I was out to day on my 999S and it decked out over a large wallow in the road and did the sump in, you know the bit I'm on about, the end casting of the filter,
I was lucky,I didnt know what I'd done till I got home.
But it could of been so much worse, the signs were there, the noise was there but I thought it was the fairing touching down,and the rear tyre slid abit but it had just rained,
Anyway I did something about it, so next time it hits down it wont leave oil over my back tyre,not that it's that common.
I armour plated it, A 4mm shield around it made out of hard wearing phoserous bronze,
If you have a deep sump like me and you dont want to take the bus home or have a crash, you might want to do the same mod to your bike,
so heres some pictures for you,
