Might I suggest two levers might have been a better bet?

Sods law dictates that by carrying a spare lever you never need to use it.

Not best pleased. RHS fairing is (more) damaged now and the clutch lever is snapped.

Just popped an order in on the Wemoto for a pattern part (just under £9- a relief, considering what rear brake lever costs...!).

A real pain- could do without the additional cost and getting the train to work over the next few days. I'm not best pleased.

Is allegedly in stock, so I'd assume that it'd be royal mail and with me on Tuesday, Weds at the most. Can anyone confirm this from previous Wemoto experiences?

Should have ordered a paddock stand at the same time...

Druid- good idea. Did think of that. Cash is a bit of a challenge this month though, with another £250 about to go on the bike and other commitments...

With the cash that keeps going into the bloody thing, a paddock (Abba) stand is going to have to wait for a while- i'd hoped to get one before now... And a set of motosliders..

I will be asking Stewart to look at the stand- just to see if it needs improving- the bike does lean some. But I'm guessing that it was just me being a klutz and not putting it on the stand proply. Simple mistake, pricey consequences!
