Wonder what caused that, did you do the last service on it or was it a dealership. Overtorque maybe?

You could try posting on the MOA and see if someone's got an extra lying around to get back up and running faster.

This made me laugh. I do this at work sometimes, and everyone just looks at me like I'm crazy. They clearly haven't seen the movie.

That was my first thought... if it wasn't for bad luck... lol but hey bad luck would have had me under a truck because of this... so

no... I've done the last service, and the last oil change was just before I moved here... I've put close to 800 miles on it since then... and there was no leak or seeping, just an all of a sudden gushing of oil. odd... but it may have been cracked for a while now and just finally let go, like my brain with my stroke LOL... not so worried about why now, just wanna get riding...

I'll hit up MOA and the Chain Gang (F650 site) to see if anyone has one.. didn't think about that. Thanks!

See if you can get it welded. There's plenty of shops around that weld aluminum.
