Dropped VTR :-( Newbie needs some advice

Post by Chris VTR »

I'm glad to have found this place! I'm new to biking and bought my first bike, a 'mint' red '00 VTR with only 9K miles 3 weeks ago. After week 1 the chain tensioner went. Luckily there was no engine damage so I just had to get the tensioner replaced. Then 2 days ago I stupidly managed to drop her on the right hand side. Amongst other things, the fall damaged the clutch cover dropping all the oil so she's off the road again :( I'm absolutely gutted.

Anyway, question is can anyone recomend where I can get a replacement clutch cover from and can you get uprated ones other than going to Honda direct?

cheers
