It&#8217;s bound to happen and with the original tail &#8221;extension&#8221; on the Talaria the entire rear is scrap after such an incident. Tail light, indicators, subframe.. everything is scratched, crushed or bent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get to take any pictures of the bike in that state but after removing the damaged parts and making a quick fix, this is what it looked like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.runstenracing.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20241012_125137432.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runstenracing.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20241012_125137432-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runstenracing.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20241012_125137432-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.runstenracing.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20241012_125137432-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.runstenracing.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20241012_125137432-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.runstenracing.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20241012_125137432-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.runstenracing.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20241012_125137432.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s mostly alright and usable but unfortunately the plate hits the rear wheel when compressing the suspension all the way, and that won&#8217;t work.
