right some of you may already know that i manage to hit a bollard, trashing my front wheel, well i fixed that. (new head stock bearings and front wheel) well i crashed again yesterday, i went to my mates house and parked my bike up outside and then when i left i was riding home and i herd two loud PING noises then my back wheel locked up. i was thrown off the bike and hit the floor (HARD) and my bike fell into a bush. when i had a look at the bike it seems that my exhaust bracket came undone and then got jammed up in my back wheel......... so i tried looking for the bolts but no couldnt find them anywhere i couldnt see how this would happen after only 5mins of riding, but thinking about it i think someone tried to steal my exhaust and so took the bolts off. it seems the only reason really, because i keep my bike in gooooood condition so this shouldnt of happened!!!! checked the damaged today and the exhaust is fine although haven't got any bolts or spacers for the bracket (anyone know where i can get some? btw its a malossi mhr rep exhaust) and the back wheel has loads of digs and scratches on it.
bad luck m8.. hope your feelin ok/ the bolts you can get at melvin clarks neer carshalton college and the spacers you can use rollers or even a pipe fitting also from clarks as you can unwind the bolts on ether side to ajust the thickness. old bodges are the best, use ptfe tape on the bolts an they wont move
dab of locktight on the mounting bolts n i mean a dab lol and maybe try some sort of pipe? copper maybe? might have to change it after two weeks though arc:
bad luck mate, do you know the size of nuts and bolts and spacers(plastic or metal)pm your address and i will put some stainless ones (with locknuts) in the post monday you will get em wed /thurs
shiney have you just got a shed full of ss nut and bolts and need rid of them ? :w00t: and btw! that is unlucky should have done your pre flight checks :rofl:
shiney red is an engineer/fabricator type person he works with stainless fasteners all day...hes a clever bloke too..he can make almost anything out of stainless etc
o ye man i heard bout this lucky you got off lightly i reckon you should get pipe and back wheel lock like a bar that goes threw both of them.
