Oh man..that sucks..

Really feel for you man.. I would be wounded if I dropped my bike and that is a pile of gash compared to the clean and expensive Smev mobile..

Hope your wounds get better soon - palm scrapes are mingers fo shizzle

shit fella that does suck, do you know what caused the front to lock up?

oh no! sorry to hear that.

that sickens me to read that, what a kick in the bollicks.
is there any silver lining?

My sentiments to, I feel for you mate.

Smev, that's heart wrenching. Been reading your thread the whole way; I can't believe the brake locked up. Sounds like the sorta thing that'd happen to me!

again shit to here, me mum said u looked a lil banged up when she collected the socket

probably a bit late but i can get you a bit of discount on a of r&g's if u still want

found out why it locked? and was it the throttle sticking like you said or somthing else?

still the main thing is that your ok, alright ur unjured but not seriously

what is it you'll need to replace? il have a look round to see if i have anything if u want?

That's not good.
Hope you're alright.

Well thinking back on it now I don't think the throttle got stuck at all - the bike seems a lot more rev happy now that the carbs have been balanced, modded and the HRC style CDI fitted.

I think the front wheel locked up for a number of contributing and conspiring reasons - I haven't ridden the bike since the beggining of this thread (novemberish time) and since then I have fitted the trak-tech levers which don't require much effort to get them to work. the bike has also been stood for months and the discs had rusted up slightly. a combination of this all added up to me not knowing how much force to apply to the brakes and them biting really easily. I'll have to watch this next time I go out on it!

As for a silver lining - umm..... not sure yet!

I am going to need a whole load of bits, so starting from the front -

Clutch lever - Trak tech again
Clutch cable and bracket
Switch gear (lights, horn, indi's)
Harris Clip-on tube
Switch/button for the Translogic dash - controls all the features on it.
Tank - repair and respray
fairing lowers - repair right hand side think i need a new left. and respray
More graphics
Generator casing - potential mod!!
Rear sets
Exhaust inlet spout and carbon fibre slieve
R&G non drill crash bungs - gonna have to do it.
1 x pair of new palms
1 x left knee skin
1 x right fore arm skin

Ok here are a few pics
