Bad luck fella, but it happens.  Your up and the bike will mend (budget permitting!)...

I've broke loads of fingers before I moved to HELD Titan gloves ... nothing since despite some fast ejection sequences ;-)

Will have a look at those gloves mark. Mine haven't a mark on them! Leathers held up well also, but it was wet and most of my sliding was on grass.

93mph is approximate speed when I crashed, and the bike travelled 192m before the engine cut out (so data logging stopped), the bike was still doing 30mph at that point! It's by far my fastest get off.

So I thought my link pipe had pulled from a join in the system... It had actually snapped the link pipe!!

Looks like it had cracks forming internally and the crash snapped it!!

So I ordered them  on the 2nd, received them today. Made to order, so they were manufactured in that time. Initial thoughts are that they maybe aren't the thickest layup of fibreglass in places, they may not be brilliant in a crash, but they are reinforced in the seat and the upper part is a  thicker section than the belly pan. It's not fully drilled, but that is fine, the dzeus fasteners all line up and are a nice bonus,  they also threw in a seat foam. Overall very impressed so far. Have mocked up the bellypan and dimensionally seems good, need to fix the air intake before I can get them fitted properly. Two small cracks in the gel coat probably from transit. Got a Christmas card as well!

Pretty sure it's just in the gel coat. I will just put a little filler in it and live with it.
