Sounds like most of it should be sorted.

If you just want it to be rideable, you can drill a hole through the remaining stump of the rear brake and fit a bolt with several nuts on it. Works really well- I ran one for about a year and I know other people have too.

If you want it to look pristine, new ones are around £30 from Suzuki dealers (couldn't find any aftermarket ones). Fitting is a bit fiddly with the springs and retaining pin, but well within the scope of a numpty home mechanic (I managed it

)

HTH.

This is all before i get to the dealers where shes at and find out the real extent of damage (fingers crossed), il get some pics aswell.
Brake lever will be fitted by the dealer, ive asked them to do any work like that to her as tris doesnt have time at the mo, plus they were good enough to be my recovery service for fre when its not something they offer.

Bugger, Out of the last three years I have binned the bike on ice twice at slow speed. Hope you get the bike back together soon.
