Are you alright fella? Looks easy to fix with nothing more than cosmetic damage.

Eyup Dub, didn't know you were a biker biggrin

Sorry about your spill, but you're a proper biker now hehe

Should be a relatively easy fix old chum, mate of mine has had two offs in 3 weeks due to commuting on his CBR in all weathers...worst thing was one of them was a petrol station forecourt covered in ice, right on CCTV too rofl

Hope you get it sorted soon

I'm ok, hurt my elbow (suspected fracture) and bruised my hip. All my gear did its job smile

Was only doing around 20mph. Crossing a roundabout, there's a ridge in the road as you go onto the roundabout. The rear tyre broke traction, then caught again and high sided me off. Gear foot selector and foot rest were snapped off, managed to get it into 2nd gear and limp it home.

Sorry to hear that mate. As said, not a huge issue with repairs, just hope the arm heals quickly.
Cheers.

From what I can see, it will need full left fairing, tail section, left foot rest and gear selector and left hand side handlebar and clutch lever.

i can get you a pair of pp tuning bars, a pp tuning lever (as used by stiggy motorsport) and some rearsets, and if you need one, a new single seat hump...

all at cost of course, no profit at all...

That's crap news frown Hope you get both yourself and the bike sorted mate.

Safe riding guys - very slippery in a car never mind a bike. I'm too much of a jessie to be riding through the winter.

Thanks for the kind messages guys smile

I should be ok in a few weeks, and this gives me a chance to bring the Kwak back bigger and better (should funds allow) biggrin

Ouch, hope it doesn't cost too much, Ebay to check for cheap plastics I guess? Didn't look like any bungs on there - worth getting some perhaps?
