But there may be some good deals there too but thats the chance you have to take ... Just be very specific in your questions and hope you get a specific answer to that question.. .If you ever have to deal with them... I'm sure there has been a lot of happy customers also..

good luck with things.. hope the ribs heal soon

You can have my indicators if that's any help. I don't have anything else kicking around. It might be cheaper to buy the UK stuff and have it shipped out. Just do some comparing if you do a repair

that would be a big help Yamagreedy want stupid money for them so if I do a repair I'll be in contact about price and postage

No worries. It will only be a couple of bucks. I don't ever plan to put them back on and nearly tossed them the other week.

On the subject of MWB, I have twice purchased 'new' items from them on EvilBay and had the items 'disappear' in the shop both instances. No doubt I got them too cheap. In one instance it took 3 weeks to get my money back and that was after them trying to sell me some other TRX products at full rates to use up my credit. I would not recommend doing business with them.

If thats all the damage to the fuel tank, you should be able to get it repaired for less than half the cost of a new one. I had a ZZR Kawasaki tank repaired here that had a nastier dent than that. Cost of panelbeating was $150, paint was $160 - two pack paint, two colours matched to the original (I applied this myself to save money) $17 for Kawasaki stickers made from a scan of one of the originals by a local signwriter, took about 20 minutes for him to do these. Would post a pic but its not on file in this computer.

The bike was a write off and at first the offer from the insurance was a joke.After a bit of haggeling they made me an offer I was happy with.I have bought back the bike and will be repairing it,I just couldn't let her go.So I pick her up tomorrow after work and the fun begins.
