Deer Strike

[jodog]

Interstate at 70 mph in a storm. Doe's head just 6 inches in front of my left undermirror light (dazzlingly bright deer eyes), and POP -- the universal sound of breaking plastic parts.

No crash, but the left fairing, mirror, under light, headlight assembly, highway peg are goners. Probably the structure the mirror bolts to as well. Saddlebag cover has deer hair in the paint. Which leads to my next question: Anyone know where you can pick up those parts in white for a '20 Goldwing?

Ouch! Glad you're ok and that it wasn't more serious.

Man, I'm glad you didn't go down like me.
I tell you there's a Deer Mafia out there to get MC riders ....

 

[Mellow]

That was a close one...glad you weren't going 69mph....

 

[NTausch]

Glad you’re ok.

 

[Daboo]

I know you feel bad about all the damage. Just think what the deer feels about what she did to your bike. I'll bet she feels even worse.

Glad you’re all intact- bike can be fixed…let insurance cover the costs.

 

[MR Q.]

Been there done that. My RT was totaled and I did not go down as well. Although I hit the deer squarely with the from of the bike. Glad your are able to walk away.

 

[sTaylor]

Glad you’re ok

 

[rdmsttrav]

Impressed you kept the bike upright and glad you are alright.

Did you see the deer prior? Hard to believe they were on the interstate except in Florida panhandle. 70 in a storm your crazy! God was Watching over you today…

 

[SupraSabre]

That sucks, sorry to hear it! At least you are good. The bike is repairable!

 

[dduelin]

I'm glad it's just bike damage and no injury to you.

 

[Magicman]

Hope you bought a lottery ticket that day. Glad you're okay.

To echo everyone else. Glad you are okay!

Answering your question, I believe any Honda dealership should be able to order the parts you may require. I utilize ronayers.com for my parts. Watching online auction sites or your local wrecking yard might find some good used parts and save a few dollars.

I would probably disassemble/remove the entire front cowl and see about straightening or replacing that stay, I suspect it took most of the hit.

Good luck!
