    "I dropped my bike in the garage".. what had happened was.. he opened the garage and saw a brand new litter of puppies being attacked by 12 ninjas. He jumped off the bike doing a double backflip, narrowly avoiding the katanas, threw 12 death stars with his left hand,killing all the ninjas. Satan appeared while he's still in the air and he says, "not today satan" finding in the super hero pose, catching his bike just as the clutch levrr hit the floor, saving it so there was almost no damage. Cause no one is perfect.

    Had my bike slip on a mat on my garage coming in a little to hot which threw the rear end out and had me almost whisky throttle into the living room. Thank goodness for pulling the clutch. I broke the fall with my body and didn't damage the bike...just me. It was fun.

    you are correct. my buddy bought a NEW '23 road glide. we rode to a neighboring dealership where he promptly dropped it. lucky, no damage. i was backing my SG out of the garage, the kickstand caught the lip of the concrete which kicked up the kickstand and i did not realize it and i dropped mine. i am the firmest believer in engine guards and bag guards so i did not have damage either. he since installed bag guards.

    Dropped mine off of my HF lift a few years back. Was about 2ft up when the bike shifted, not sure why, and came towards me. Knew I could not stop it so just let it hit my garage floor.
    Damaged the front brake lever and not much else.
    Got it up. Got rid of that lift. And fixed what was broken.

  • @bobshotrodgtx3835

    Food for thought,
    If the bike has any miles on it. The best way to do it with out c ontaminating the master withe fluid from the caliper. Is when you have it apart. With pressure on the piston crack open the bleeder till the piston bottoms out. Keep pressure on it and open the bleeder. Put a rag down because fluid will squirt out , then quickly close it with out letting presuure off the piston. If you do it rite you wont have to bleed the brakes. Just work the brake a couple times and top off systum. No bleeding nessary. Wala done. Reassemble with pads in the rite way. Big side fwd. The "spring goes in with the rounded side twards the bracket
