Hi all,
Runt69 is down :(
Come off his sv tonight, 20mph spill on new tarmac, hes ok-bruised and scraped knee.
His sv is in need of a new rear brake lever-can anyone help him out?

Yup svspares is the place to go, I got my exhaust hanger from them, I paid by card, got in the posr the next day. By far the cheapest place to start, saves messing about with ebay and getting the bike back road asap.

They are open from Tuesday!

Nope They just laid some new tarmac, combination of that lovely oily bit that comes out and the damp evening air, changed up and the bike went from under me, must have given it a bit too much throttle. knee very sore and difficult to bend but I''ll get used to it, Rictus did

this happened to me the other day :( went to http://www.fixer-peg.co.uk (http://www.fixer-peg.co.uk/) and got the replacement peg off there drilled a hole in 20secs bolted the new one on and it was as good as new :), unless of course the lever is broke and not just the peg!!

Duck tape on mine. And now the pegs shorter and doesn't ground out too easily :thumbsup:
