That's insane

James , the Fixer-Peg was posted today first class , It didn`t have the correct bolt with it so I threw in a 6mm cap head Stainless bolt with Stainless washer for you . I suspect it will foul the gear selector rod so you may have to go and buy a button headed Allen bolt to clear it . I filed my broken gear peg flat , then drilled a pilot hole in the centre of the gear lever after centre punching it then drilled a 6mm clearance hole to allow the bolt to pass through . Hope this helps and saves you some money feller .

glad to hear your ok, you can join me in not riding for a while now, haha. good to see the bike isn't too badly damaged, gets costly quite quickly otherwise.

But his observation on the approach alerted my 6th sense and I knew he wasn't going to stop, so I slowed down. Lucky me

Yes I had a moment with a van on Monday, with the guy on the phone! I pointed out his error, he was very applogetic by the time I finshed talking.

James bad luck about your off, I rode home in the rain tonight which wasn't soo nice hopefully all the roads should be a bit cleaner now? (is that possiable)

Try SV spares for the bits you need, they may have them in. I'll find a link for ya. Take it easy dude
