Jack Chinnery Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I know this came up a while back, But my mates (now mine ) 05 lever had snapped at the tighening part (were you tighten it to the bars) If you know what I mean. The part were it is really fragile and connects from the 2 little strips to one. He had snapped it due to overtightening. Does anyone know a bodge for it. I am the master bodger and have been baffled what to do, And I dont want to use foshizzle loads of duck tape.

zonaboy1 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Im petty sure that chemical metal (plastic padding) would hold it. And a bit of touch up paint to disguise it couldnt do any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
