Left front peg snapped while out for a ride. Obviously couldn't find it so.....

The bolt you see is one out of the pillion grabrail. Must remember to put it back when the new peg arrives.

And it got me home though neutral was an issue.

Good bit of on the spot thinking

Nice work.


and I see your tax runs out at the end of the month

You have to keep the gear lever straight with your heel pushing it against the guard and then it changes up and down with only slightly more movement than normal.

Strange thing is that the thread is the same so, if you screw it through and then use the nut to lock it, it is actually quite strong. The lever shifts about on it though but it's better than the alternative.

I'm just glad that the toolkit is comprehensive enough to allow this.

Yes.

They seem to be good for that these Falco's. The little screw that holds the gear lever on fell off one afternoon, it was then I discovered the screws that hold the seat on are a good replacement. A mate of mine was totally bemused by this.. I don't think he was used to quick thinking, road side bodging..lol

........ and the bungee straps that double as the cotton reels you fix to the swingarm to use a paddock stand (though that's by design)

And the standard blue shock also doubles up as a good boat anchor too
nice thinking though don't think i would of thought of that

I have some bolt spacers about 1 inch klong each they'd be a good temp fix to stop the gear change moving about

Have to be oversize nuts to count as a bodge!

Said the actress to the bishop.
Impressive bodging though.
