Yep water pump outer housing sorry silly me. Mac Looks like we can do some business once assessors been round etc. Now need to source some yellow fairing. Has anyone seen the full sets advertised on ebay from china for about £300 looks a bit suspect to me.
Mac Ill send you PM.
Thanks Guys

8O I was not expecting that from your first post, so I was shocked to see that amount of damage to the bike. Good news you didn't break any bones, but very annoying and maddening all the same.

If you are talking about those Chinese copy fairings on Ebay, have a word with seb421 as he got some for his bike when he had the Storm.

I wish you well in getting better, and getting the bike sorted out.

Chris.

Is that part of a film set. I don't think someone could jump through a windscreen like that, even a Ninja. And why where people already standing around watching. Yeh the more I think about it, that is a film set.

Just been to Drs and signed off for at least three weeks, still struggling to walk and insurance assessors just phoned and will be around tomorrow to look at the bike. Bit nervous to say the least.
Injuries are so far this.

Severe bruising and swelling to the knee, swelling tenderness to ankle, right pinkie crushed and bruised with swelling ,large bruising to left bicep(not sure where that came from the bruise not the bicep) very limited movement to and muscle spasms to right shoulder.
Missus is loving taking the pictures and saying told you so. The worst is due to medication i cant even have a beer.
Only been three days and I'm bored stiff as I'm normally always on the go.

Must be my luck though as the Dr I saw today was also fit as well, I'm sure my luck with this will change.

Thanks for all the messages guys they are making me laugh and love the Myopic car video thing.

Cant wait to get back on the road.
Mac has solved a good chunk of my current shopping list. Will update once assessors been although I imagine I wont find out for a while. :clap:

sorry to hear about this, good that you and the bike are in repairable nick mind :thumbup: Good luck with getting roadworthy

the number of people flashing people to come onto the right of way, holding up traffic etc gets on my tits and is plain wrong. Why do some wombles a favour when they know they have to wait at a junction until clear to exit. It couldn't be more simple and this is what can happen. Rant over :D

The rad might not be serviceable unfortunately, had a good look at it when I pulled it out of the bin & it's a bit worse than I thought. Might be ok to get you back on the road until something better comes along.

Insurance assessors been. Seemed reasonable enough now to wait and see what they offer for bike. However he has confirmed that it will be a Cat C write off. So i guess I can start taking apart etc and getting a full list done. Hopefully have offer by middle of next week......?

Still awaiting any update on what they will offer for the bike. Should have guessed it wouldn't be any time soon. Got a solicitors on board now regards injury claim (Slater&Gordon). Got some colorful pictures of injuries. Just thankful as it could have been so much worse.

Ooo yes ow... that leg is badly bruised and swollen, brings back memories :eek2

You take it easy mate and just rest up. Try and keep the leg elevated to help with the swelling. A couple of pillows under the leg at nights is a good one. Arnica cream works wonders for the bruising.
