Cheers Kev, nothing a trip to the pub won't cure, might have to lay it on thick when the Mrs gets home, go for the sympathy vote lol.

Thanks for the offer Kev, luckily storm not on the road yet and the gsxr needs a bit of work so I was on the old faithful workhorse the Thundercat. Have loads of spares for it but only needs a bar end, exhaust hanger and starter gear cover, no panels broke, just grazed, custom paint job held up well but will need a right panel and nose respray. More practice for me lol.

I know, glad it's taken longer to get on the road now lol

Don't do pain killers, was addicted to them when I was a teen, haven't touched them since. Although right forearm bone is hurting quite a bit now so not sure if it's cracked or not, went down quite hard on the right and my boots saved my ankle, they are badly damaged on the toe slider and the ankle protector. ATGATT always pays. See how it is tomorrow and maybe take a trip to A&E.

Nice and tidy agent p. What stand is that your using and can it be used when removing the swingarm rather than a Jack under the engine and straps to hold it upright?

it's an abba stand mate, raised on planks of 2x4 and using a 17mm socket instead of the correct attachment, instead of being fitted to the swingarm spindle, you mount it higher to a frame bolt. works really well..... :thumbup:

Cheers CK, rode it straight home, removed, straightened and reattached exhaust so completely rideable now, just not as pretty.
