Oh bugger

I take it clips are hidden when affixed, I'd plastic weld them, that's what I did for ER5 and stronger than original.

Use some thick single strand copper wire (or even a staple) and fold so you have an S shape and melt into the plastic across the crack. You can get plastic filler rods on eBay or use cable ties. Most common mistake is people overheat the plastic making it brittle, you want lowest temp plastic melts at (normally 210°c is good).

Plenty of example videos on YouTube.

I thought that too. Go farmer style, amazing what you can achieve with duct tape, metal putty, epoxy glue and a complete disregard for the aesthetics. On the other hand does it mean Santa NEEDS to deliver a new bike?!

If you want to go down the route of fixing yourself. This glue is fantastic, I haven't found anything that it won't stick together! A mechanic friend recommended it as it is what they use to stick bumpers on cars back on.... As well as numberplates and anything else!

Many thanks for the commiserations and the advice guys, much appreciated

I'm taking it to be looked at on Tuesday, then will decide where to go from there. If it's a small fortune to repair then I may try and bodge it back together myself, though where exactly I would do that I don't know!

Does anyone know the correct term for the clock mounting bracket (which is the bit where the metal has sheared through)?

I think that this is what you need.

Everything happens for a reason, maybe you weren't supposed to ride that day to prevent an accident that might of happened etc

Your welcome and these guys if they stock for your bike are sometimes cheaper and I have had no issues with the quality....

Sorry to resurrect this, thought a few people might be interested in this - I had the subframe (pictured in Mickly's post) replaced, these are some shots of the part taken off the bike:

 

Yep, that's right, the bike had previously been crashed and rather than replace the clearly damaged subframe they tried to weld it (It's aluminium by the way).

The 3rd pic shows where it sheared through after the bike fell off its side stand.. notice a very dodgy weld that obviously didn't fix the original damage!

Hence the reason it broke so easily when the bike toppled over

[Mickly]

B’stards

Best check the rest of the bike over for any other hidden damage.

Hopefully that’s it !!

[The Hitcher]

Damn!, what a pain, really hope you manage to get all sorted at minimal cost.
