Thats really piffed me off! Normally on the Rear bike stand but i put it in backwards ready to get out early, then went out last night. It may be the daughters boyfriend as his fishing gears in there

i'll check to see if I have a spare lever and mirror mate, I won't know for a couple of weeks tho, gutted for you mate....

What side is is damaged BTT ?

Which lever do you need ?

Is it OME lever ?

Guys many thanks for the replays, I've put the original levers back on, done as much as i can with the fairing and belly pan scratches for the moment. Gear lever was bent up and in and with some careful fettling thats now ok. Its the fairing thats my main issues as crap at bodywork.
The Mirrors were a bit pants anyway so may buy some more after the summer.

May be a good time in Nov to do the seat mod and respray. Riding it all summer though.
Mac still on for the 9th. ( with German pliers!!!)

throwing my tooth brush in the bin, as it was a bit worn out, before checking to see if there were any new ones in the cupboard

Good! Such a beautiful bike too I'd be gutted!

Has the culprit been identified ?

Yes, all the rings have mysteriously fell off his fishing rod.!!!

I was gutted, as the bike now has scratches and some bits missing, it was perfect, however a ride yesterday reminded me how good these bikes are to ride. Bedsides that back bit will be gone next November when the seats lobbed off.

Did he fess up ? Or did you have to beat it out of him...?

the sad eyes; like on the cat in shrek gave it away. He did text me but to my work phone. He was pooping it too much to try and pick it up.

Virgin media - need I say more !!!'n

two things today.
firstly I fell over on a muddy slope......doh!!!
and secondly I finally sell a refurbed starter motor on ebay, good news, well it would be if I was in the uk to dispatch the bloody thing....double doh!!!
I could have sworn i'd stopped the ebay advert before leaving the uk, now i'm waiting to see if the buyer can wait another 10 days before it can be dispatched, or whether he would prefer a full refund....

Marty how is the weather over there?.
