Thats all, thank the lord. Not been able to go and get a piccy of the diesel,
rain and no brake doesnt really mix well...

yep, im glad it didnt flip when it hit the kerb, as it wouldve caused much more damage. the crash bungs saved the day tbh.

any opinion on the wonky bung?

I have a set of GSXR pillion hangers going, if you want them.
They won't fit a K3-5, but they might do for you.

could the yellow stuff be the remains of a double yellow line ?

Check your subframe isn't bent, hopefully not!

RG protectors are bolted to the main frame not the subframe.

Its probably just the cup that got bent in the frame, you will need to take it off and see if it has just got twisted in the hole and probably will need to be hammered out.

Hope its all ok, if worried get the bike jiged to see if its all in line. Its nice to see that the RG actualy ground down instead of poping out.

His pillion pegs aren't though...

true, sorry. Was only thinking about the possablility of a twisted main frame.

You can put a bolt in that brake lever.Ive got one in mine and I now prefere it to the original.Drill it and tap it roughly where your red line is,and screw a bolt in with some rubber tube on it and a nut to hold it.

sorted now anyway, bit of welding did the trick.
