Gear change pedal wanted. (**EDIT** fixed up now.)

Post by sirch345 »

After my recent spill I could do with a gear change pedal for my Firestorm. Has any body got one in good straight condition please :?:

Many thanks for your concern Mike, I really appreciate your offer :thumbup: although I'm hoping to find one a little nearer,

Cheers Andy. Yes I'm gutted but, it could have been much worse. My own stupid fault, you can read what happened here at the bottom of the page :-

Right guys, just to bring things up to date. I now have a gear change lever on it's way to me, well it should be with me next week. So providing it's as good as it's meant to be, then I will be sorted. I'll update when I know for sure,

Cheers,

Chris.

how long will it take you to get it as shiny as the bent one Chris?

It can't be that bad if you only just noticed it :lol:
No mistaking mine, it wasn't the easiest to change gear after that mod :wink:
Yours should straighten out okay Mac if it's only slightly bent. I used heat on mine, but the bit that makes contact with your boot when changing gear still snapped off. As my missus said "it was a bend too far" :problem:
