Re: Bike fell over
I cant help with the sprayer bit but I can moan along with you. Fcukin shitter, I'd be well pissed too.
A few weeks back someone reversed into Fizzers front wheel and shove it backwards up and over a kerb, luckily it stayed upright but I wasn't so lucky with the mudguard which is now cracked and rattles every time I go near a bump. The best bit though, the offender is a good friend of our neighbour whom we know very well and she denied all knowledge. Forking basssstards. There is even a touch of paint on my mudguard that is the same as her shitty car.
Hope you get it sorted without too much bother.

Re: Bike fell over
Cheers I'm bloody devastated, bike was immaculate until this. Left it on the stand while I shut the garage door & down she went. The oil dripping is a bit of a worry, haven't had chance to look yet.
Re: Bike fell over
Hopefully its just a bit of oil that has got into the breathers or something. Worst case the seal on the selector shaft could be dripping if the gear lever is really really shagged, could it have bent something like the shaft itself?
Keep looking on ebay for good or new panels.

Could the slight oil leak be just where she's been over (like an overflow maybe?)
Anyhoo...found this...any good?
