Yes, got a new one cabletied to my frame, and may have a broken one somewhere. You are welcome to borrow them.

Thanks gents
Woodman if you can locate the broken one i could do a repair job on it & borrow that if possible. i'd hate to see you go without your frame brace

No worries, you can have either one, because i haven't broken a lever in about 5 years anyway.

I had a spare one strapped to my frame, gave it to my mate on a DR big when he dropped his bike out on a ride, seems to be pretty standard cos I got replacement one at my local bike shop (budget) no worries?

Thanks Crim. I borrowed the woodmans spare spare for this weekends cape to cape ride. It's a just in caser. Luckily on my bike the engine is the first thing that gets hit.

Hey guys, just muckin around with the bike today and decided to pull the screen out of the airbox. Ass of a job so decided to take the airbox out to do it proper like. Anyway, long story/short my exhaust has melted quite a large hole in the airbox downstream from the filter.And upstream, quite nasty really. Fixed now, but just a heads up as I thought mine was fine until the airbox came off.

So, nice dusty air bypassing the filter?

Minimal by the looks of it. Pretty clean in there.

Had to remove my rear subframe to get the airbox out and there is a big crack in it (subframe). Dunno how that could have happened. Its ok for now, but on the offchance, has anyone got one they don't want? longshot I know.

Why do these things always come to light at the beginning of summer?

But you're so gentle with it too.

Weird...
