aw that wasn't great to read, I was half way through preparing my laughing and pointing until it became apparent you hadn't done a diesel ducati...you'd had a slip.

Hope Chris sorts it out with plenty of grubby finger marks quicksmart while you rest the ankle!

Lol, now that I would have allowed you to laugh at

I'm just hoping I won't need to replace clocks because of the speedo. It's possible it still works, and the plastic can be welded/patched together. Fingers crossed, I really don't want to have to buy new ones but neither do I want to have to have a plastic bag around it for months like I did the 125!

How badly cracked? my old banana had a split down the centre of the clocks since I got it, it was still readable so I never did anything with it.

Is it the clear bit that's cracked I take it, not the housing? You may well be able to get replacement glasses but I don't know.

It's the housing just the left side of it, the rec counter's completely intact.

Sure they must be swappable, or atleast patch uppable if you don't mind it looking a bit crappy.
