    Practicing some slow speed stuff in the local supermarket car park and tried a turn too tight for my pay grade, one broken front and back gear lever later!!! I’m as sick as a pig but there’s no point crying over spilt milk. Laying beside the broken lever ends was this (pictured) I have no idea what it is or where it came from, any ideas?

    Street triple? Did the bike go down on the left side? I think there are a couple of hose ends near the rider foot peg. Likely a breather or overflow from the radiator.

    It went down on the right side, the brake levers took the full brunt

    I dont know about the street triple but my ktm has a breather pipe capped off like this, I think is part of the evaporate/charcoal canister system.

    OH CRAP! That is bad news ..... yeah, understatement, I know, but after our recent, brief conversation I thought everything was really on the up for you!

    I take it you've broken both brake levers? Is yours an 'R'? I might have a spare (standard) front brake lever if you're interested. I replaced our two bikes with Triumph cranked levers. Not sure about the rear. I'll try to take a look tomorrow and will let you know.

    Sorry to hear this, Robert.
