Only available through the website I believe, but DavieSv who is a member on the site sells and makes them

The idea came after doing rideouts where somebody came off and broke a foot lever, and we had to cobble up a workable peg. This works perfectly.

I believe he does offer a discount to Org members but I may be wrong.

seems like i have done my sholder in a bit it has gone verry stif and a bit painfull will see how it goes

Waste of time doing that , just take it easy for the first few miles on them and they will wear through the coating and release compound they have on them from the moulding process . As far as your shoulder goes , I have found over the years that they tend to stiffen up so I try and keep on the move by doing things like making a brew and avoiding heavy work with the affected area . Even when strapped up it paid to do a very light excercise to keep the muscles moving . Now this is not medical advice by any stretch of the imagination and should really be advised by a medical professional on a case by case scenario , so just pop into the Docs , mention you had a spill and get yerself a nice healthy supply of Co-Codamols for any pain .

It`s not as steep as buying £100 worth of breakdown recovery is it ? , what you will find is that it is a bit of kit that you will never ever need to use because you bought one and never had an accident again . Under my seat is a Puncture Repair kit , Fixer-Peg and a Fuel Transfer line ............ the Fuel Transfer line is the only thing that has been used to bail out a couple of friends and myself once in a "Hey I`m too stupid to remember to fill up" scenario

No you are right , it would not have helped at all , and from this thread I have decided I might as well throw my clutch lever under the seat as well . It has a broken Ball-End on it but it is better than no lever at all and I might source an emergency Brake lever as well . Oh I also have an emergency Soft Link for my chain as well under the seat .

I could probably squeeze them in as well with a bit of patience , I hardly use the rear brake , only if I have to . I spend more time keeping it free from seizure than I do using it which is the majority of the problem with it .

lol i find the back brake prety naff :/ i have goldfren sintered pads and still find it prety bad but geting braided lines after christmas to see if that improves them, they did improve when i cleaned the cylinders and seals but not by much so fingers crossed a new bleed and lines/fluid will bring them back to life a bit
