I decided to do the zip tie mod two days ago. Having finished it, I was driving around testing it and was headed home when I went into a corner used to how my bike worked before the mod. Ended up going too fast into the turn but slowed down my bike and controlled it as much as I could. I was only pinned against the metal railing at about 5 mph.
Messed up a resistor in my cheapo Chinese turn signals(need a new signal now) , faint scuffs on my exhaust pipe, and clear coat scratches.
Good thing I ordered a clear coat pen like a week ago haha.
This all happened after a close call earlier that day that was all my fault. Overestimated my ability controlling my bike and jumped through a red light with people turning left. I'm glad they were driving more defensively than I was or I'd have ended on the pavement on my ass like I deserved.
