Just a thought, was your rear brake pedal adjusted so it was pointing down a lot more than standard? Your hero blobs / banking sensors look relativly unscathed so unless you hit a bump in the road I wouldn't have expected your brake pedal to snap off....

A tiny bit lower. But the pedal doesn't have much play in it! Pegs are worse than they look in that picture- although they also fold up of course.

I've only scraped the pegs on my SV twice. Both times involved it sliding down the road riderless
