$3.60 each through WMCC. And they take 2 weeks to arrive from Japan. And they are bright galvanised steel too, which just looks wrong on my bike cause all the others are black anodised ones.

Mine's been dropped too. There's evidence of plastic welding on the windscreen fairing. And the rear subframe is about an inch to the left of centre. The rest of the bike is okay though so I really need to get around to twisting it back into line.

Whoever had a go at mine - glued all the bits in place with either slicone sealant or no more nails!

Will that help the squishy suspension?

You leave his rubber-band alone. He's re-e-al proud of that bit of innovative kiwi improvement

Na - it makes it worse. See the little known equations below.

(Power increase %) = (Poos in pants volume increase %)
(Handling stability decrease %) = (Poos in pants volume increase %)

Therefore
An increase in power and a decrease in handling stability squares the amount you're going to shit yourself going into any given corner.

I have the daks to prove it too!

So what you are saying is it makes something else all squishy then?

You just save your stories (concoctions of his imagination) for your own perilous journey through life on your new machine...

I've made enquiries about a NEW spring - I aint gonna spring for a whole new suspension (even though I'd like to...)

24 hours too late, boyo. Looks like a new bike for Darkman off the back of all the 'tell me' money

Go a whole new one. You'll soon bounce back

No doubt the embellishments you've added will only enhance my reputation rather than tarnish it. Of course I will have to back it up 'in real life' when I head up to Whanga-vegas for the 28th gig...

Go a whole new one.

Sure, ok - gimme some money and I go get an Ohlins unit.... You've obviously got heaps - you can afford to splash out on a new bike.
