Yes, mate, you have. :thumbdown:













Unless it's got a brand-new tyre it's worth no more than £175.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Yes they fit. You may have to change the bearings from roller to tappered bearings and also the clipons as previously mentioned as they fit under the top yoke. I have done this a couple of times. Hope this helps you.

Right, well, yes, in that case you have cocked up.
Probably cocked up landing a big wheelie.

Just get it welded in situ, if possible.
No biggie until you come to sell it.
