Wow, glad you walked away from that one! That kerb stone is a back breaker shocking

Judging from the skid marks (road not your pants :smt002 ) you were going in to early but the other set had no chance of going round that bend at speed which they must have been doing from the remains in the verge.

Not using your back brake is overated :smt002 it's saved my bacon on a few occasions broadsiding the bike MX style!

Bloody good view though :smt003

Anything you can't source give me a shout and i will see what's available over here.

stock ones

or there seems to be someone selling racing ones on ebay quite frequently for about £100. You'd need to add a bit on that to get a pressure switch for your brake light as I doubt you can easily fit the normal switch.
In the garage:
Kawasaki ZXR400 L3 - shiny
Suzuki DR800 - bouncy
1978 Suzuki GS400 - PROJECT RETRO RACER!
Kawasaki GPz500S - for sale soon
Honda CG125 BR-J - in bits

I have rear sets on my gsxr. Tbh there a pain in the butt. They make my riding position uncomfortable, forcing my podgy little gut to fold over. As well as this I've melted two pairs of boots on the end can. vsad

Basics start at around 75 quid with better ones at 160 - 210. Can supply you a pressure switch if original set-up is fiddly.

You can view them on the webike link I posted up in accesories.

prices need shipping and Paypal fee added too.

Me?

Not even the insurance assessor spotted it, but the forks were bent after my off. I only noticed it when looking over the bike with the bloke who wanted to buy it!

If you've got access to the underside of a ramp or some kind of strong overhead beam, get a rope through the frame. You need a rear stand for this - not sure if you do if you jack the front up, but i should imagine so!
