Careful on Deansgate, Razor! There was a fatal on there a few weeks ago and accidents nearly every day.

Not seen any dammage but a lot of the time the force needed to snap the littl locater bolt and turn the bar round on the fork leg is a lot less than to actually bend the clip on, so check that it can't be re-positioned and actually have it off the bike and look at it closely before shelling out for a new one!

Of course if it looks like a bananna ignore the above

Helibars don't have a locator bolt, they have 2 6mm allen bolts to hold them to the fork leg and yes, my right one is a banana.

Oh bollix. Sorry hear about the off and more importantly the ribs.

Are my correct in thinking there is not a lot you can do for broken ribs? take it easy anyways.

Ben

ps:By the way I may have some Helibars etc for sale

There's nothing you can do except take pain killers.

I'm scrapping the helibars idea, they were ok but still lower than what I really wanted. I think I'll go back to the flat bars, but maybe keep part of the fairing and lights. I'm looking at pics of TSM's bike for inspiration

Ouch, fecken hurtz when I laff.

Sorry to hear of both the drop (bike) and fall (wagon).

Hugs .... but not to tightly.

Surely it's not beyond the wit of man to come up with crash airbags on the side of a bike.

Computer: right, I'm doing less than 15mph and I'm at 75 degrees. activate the bags!

....and you could de-activate them when on track days etc.

just a thought.
