What's a crank?
I think it's the alternator cover that's covered in scratches on the ZX6, but the gear lever's fine.

But speak to sid squid. he had an accident (not hitting the ground) where he lost his gear lever - But think he lost it from the hanger not the toe?

The alternator sits on the end of the crank

Loz, did you know the permanent repair from Fixer Peg is a quarter of the price of a temporary fixer peg?
