I have a question concerning CDA numbers. Do you get a number for an unattended tipover? I learned recently that my 05 Concours will not stay up on its side stand if it gets a flat. I parked the bike one evening, apparently having recently run over a screw or nail that punctured the rear tire. While parked in the garage the rear tire lost sufficient air to cause the bike to fall over. It had never dawned on me that this was possible, but I have the broke cowling to prove it. Does this qualify for a CDA number? I will be parking her on her center stand from here on out and a set of Murph's tipover bars will be installed shortly. Stats: 05 C10, member number: 6513 Damage: Main cowling damaged by a running light I had mounted directly to it, hit the floor and pushed the mounting bracket through the main cowling. Several middle fairing tabs were broken as well. A new main cowling has been ordered and received. Lessons Learned: Use of the center stand would be a good thing, installation of tip over bars before there needed? Priceless! John Ashton Ft. Worth, TX COG 6513 AMA 1078826 05 Concours
