Look out for Bike-Tek levers from your local shop, I picked a set up for my K8 for around £20.

They do different colours too!

Re: cr&p :( :( :( gone down
 

thanks lads :)

rad is not leaking just the hanger that bolts the rad on to the frame is bent about 2cm ish

brake lever snaped from the cylinder and foot brake snaped about 2inch from the joint. handle bars are bent about 2cm up and bar end shaved down about 1.5cm to the bolt.

not to bad i think it can be fixed for about £60-80ish can get a OEM brake lever for £14inc deliver and the rear is £22....bit steep, think i need new peg(s) as its scraped away at the bottom where it conects to the rear set but not nessosary and new handle bars not sure how much they are going to cost but have OEM for now

looking at the damage the crash bungs would have only saved the radiator from damage but still will be geting some..

Bet your glad you didn't have pazzo levers and expensive rearsets :mrgreen:

Atleast you are ok :thumbsup: (and so's the bike by the sounds of things)

Re: cr&p :( :( :( gone down

Bad luck fella, get well soon and I hope the damage doesn't prove too expensive.

I've come across that issue before with breakdown insurance, I was totally gobsmacked. It happened when my wife spun my car on some black ice and pranged it into a fence. Her dad had bought her the most expensive grade of AA cover, and they told her "it doesn't cover recovery from accidents, call a garage or your insurers".

Bad luck mate happens to the best of us.

And have you seen the price of Radiators ? Second hand they are like Hen`s teeth to get hold of because those SV`s , not fitted with Bungs that have had a good impact with the ground , tend to trash the Rads , especially an SV with Clip-Ons . Your bars may have been your saving grace for your Rad in the initial impact .

Re: cr&p :( :( :( gone down
 

certainly does!.

least you ok fella!

Re: cr&p :( :( :( gone down
 

Total bummer mate:((glad your ok)....at least it only seems to be your pride that came off worse,& as for the limited bike damage........you get to buy more bling:)

Re: cr&p :( :( :( gone down
 

Sad to hear mate.

At least that carbon mudguard is ok ay :):):) id upgrade your breakdown cover now whilst your thinking about it.

3 people to lift it? lol, the SV is well light.
