Trying to source a rear brake pedal just now - they're like hens teeth!

Seen these though, which might save any more breakages in similar circumstances http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-GSX...item53e913c705

Need a front right indicator lens too, don't know how much a new one would cost, can't be all that much I guess.

Alternatively you could stick a bolt in and get hold of one of these for if/when you get caught out in the future ;)

I need a new rear brake pedal too...not seen those you've linked to before...then I looked at the price tag...think I'll stick with a trendy top of the range bolt thanks :p

They look quite good, both the fixer peg and the replacement toe peg. I might just go for them if nothing else turns up at a reasonable price. Thanks for the link MYC.

hope you get it sorted soon, it seems that broken thumbs must be quite common as i did mine when i low sided, it was in plaster for a month and took a little while longer to get the strength back in it.
On the bright side at least it's not to serious and it shows how easy/quick these things can happen.

Thanks Bri, getting the plastics sorted properly will be the expensive part I think.

Just seen this, hope the bike's sorted soon mate, and that your thumb isn't too long healing!

Thanks for all your kind comments ladies and gents. Thumb is not quite so painful this evening despite a full day working in the garage to repair the damage today. Progress was a bit hampered as I was being careful not to make the injury any worse, but I achieved a reasonable amount.
