    Never ceases to amaze how much it can all add up to.

    The reason both sides are damaged is when I picked the bike up I hadn't realised the right hand clip on was bent and upon turning left the front brake lever jammed against the speedo cover causing the front brake to lock and me dropping the bike :D

    Still only cosmetic and I'd been having such a great time it was almost worth it. :cool:

    Glad to see its mainly superficial, looks like the akra could get away with a new band and end cone

    I have to admit the second off made me smile as well, its the sort of thing that would happen to me !

    Hope you get it sorted soon :)

    Mate sorry to hear about your off at least you are ok. As others have said, I was also wondering how the f*** did you damage both sides. Can just imagine your reaction when it dropped for the 2nd time

    Glad your ok mate.

    Personally if be fitting GB Racing covers to the casings and fixing up the rest. Then once flush change them at a later date.

    It'll give you an excuse to fit a set of black rear sets to the bike also.

    Yup that's a mess MrB and it looks like you have selected choice parts but luckily not the frame .
    Hope you manage to source the replacement parts at reasonable prices.:eek:

    Cheers all it'll be back to showroom in no time going to cost about 2.5K inc new exhaust, can't put a price on fun. Frame and swing arm OK prob would have done insurance if not.

    Got some black Harris rear sets already on order Colin to go with a new set of levers. But yes will prob be getting some GB engine covers for next time :p
