£95! Bloody hell... Trouble is they're not common used either, because everyone breaks them Is it repairable? It'd leave a visible break but that's not too bad usually.

there's a visible 6 inch crack on the left hand side when looking directly at the muguard. In fairness no plastic is missing and its still perfectly rideable but i can't stand the thought of it being broken

i have checked ebay but theres only the aftermarket carbon ones on there or unpainted ones (albeit cheaper), but i watn the OEM blue.

i hadn't considered an alarmed disk lock so may get one likewise the cord to remind me would be a good short term idea.

You don't need more than one disklock they're pretty pointless anyway. For £20 it's probably worth it but I wouldn't spend more.

Just ordered a Tech 7 one of these, not bad value, as it's for a supermoto thing I can't see me fitting a normal alarm.

Cheers Mark.

You've got to be really careful with offroad style bikes, extremely nickable. Could tell you some horror stories...

I didn't ever get my front mudguard fixed when I did the disc lock maneuver with my old bike, too expensive.
