Set off to uni this morning at 6:45 and was turning right into a small back street near my house when the front end just slipped from under me. Road was still quite frosty, knew I should've taken the train
![]() The damage: (Thank God for crash bungs, damage was minimal) ![]() ![]() ![]() Could anyone tell me the best place to get a new brake pedal? And do you reckon I should get a new crash bung or just bend it back into place? Thanks, Ryan |

glad to hear you're not hurt.
ebay or svspares.com is your friend for the brake lever. |

Fixer peg would fix that for the time being. Unlucky on your off, it is very slippery around at the moment. I think sadly the common thought on bent crash bungs is to get a new pair, otherwise you will get metal fatigue from bending it and it will be less strong.

As for the peg I'd drill and fit a replacement end eg from http://fixer-peg.co.uk/shop/category...MENT-PEGS.html Then look for a new lever, either second hand (ebay) or new (suzuki/MFW etc. Druid

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm totally uninjured luckily. My ego's a bit bruised as I had my brother on the back as I was taking him to go take his theory test. He missed that because of me having my off unfortunately
![]() I will get a replacement bolt and bung and a fixer peg I think. Thanks a lot ![]() |
