Dropped my bike
 
I was turning my bike around earlier in a tight spot when the wind caught me by surprise and I dropped my bike.
The fall wasn't far and the crash bungs took most of the impact but my front break leaver broke. What should I do to check my SV for damage and is it easy to swap out the leaver?

Yeah this wind is a nightmare, took me a wobbly one hour to get home last night so message to all to be careful. Brake levers are a doddle and self explanatory to put on, you can get a standard pair from wemoto.com or u can use this opportunity to get ur self a nice flashing crash proof pair if u like. Just make sure that the brake light switch actually makes contact and works. I got a lever for my old sv and it fit perfect but the switch wasn't making contact to the lever so I had to attach a small piece of metal to make the contact plate bigger. But simple other than that sandpit fret mate.
Good luck
