Unfortunately the bike was ruined (totaled) by a large SUV in the local market parking lot (driver did not see the black bike).

The fork brace did nothing to limit damage. :-)

I have not seen the bike since I left it with the shop 12/21/17, but I did purchase a white non ABS Ninja 300.
Sorry for your loss. That's one reason I avoid parking in the main parking lot with the automobiles. For example, if I go to Walmart I park the bike near the main entrance to the store near a bicycle rack or some outdoor benches and tables. Yes, I park on the sidewalk at the front of most stores. I park out of the way and no one ever gives me a hard time about it.

Just me I guess. Also, if I have to park where the cars do, I park with my tail light in line with the autos tail lights so people don't think there's an empty spot and pull in and bash my bike.

I think you're gonna like the 300. For every door that closes another opens.
