SOS Fort William

[Scotriders]

I know it's a long shot but does anyone in the Fort William area happen to have an SV 650 front brake lever kicking about which they'd be happy to part with?

A friend dropped her bike today while turning in the road and snapped the lever off.

I tried to tell her front brakes on a v twin are highly overrated but being only recently through her test she'd rather not chance the ride home to Dundee tomorrow without it.

Pair of mole grips as a last resort?

 

[Scotriders]

Hydraulic brakes.

Hydraulic brakes.

Clamp the mole grips on the stump of the lever!

 

[Scotriders]

I'll message them to give it a try but doubt any of them will have mole grips on them.

if there is an inch left on ,bang a bit of copper pipe on the end

Hope you where joking

Hope you where joking

Partially. I wouldn't expect her to ride it being just through her test but I know I could ride it from Fort Bill to Dundee without a front brake no problem.

Ever wondered why modern motorcycle tend to have two large disc brakes at the front, and one small one at the back ?

To slow you quickly when having to scrub off speed because you haven't planned ahead far enough or some twats pulled out in front of you at the last minute.
