LOL this is embarassing between the front caliper mount and disk, the worst bit is that if i had of cut the last couple of mm of skin holding it on and thrown the bloody finger away i would be ten grand better off. twat of the week wayne beeston .

Wish the best to you and hope you have fast and full recovery the sooner !!!
The right index finger is "the front brake finger" and we have to love it as one of the most usefull parts of our body...
And for the midle finger the use is the same and more............

I just realize that is the midle finger of your left hand...
Sympathy remains the same and more...
About the smilling face at it.. reminds me when i want to send Reiki to somebody i do with a pen something like this in my left index finger.

new panels turned up, put them on for fit and they are perfect all bolts line up and job done. moved dash to new position, now have to fit a steering damper that i blagged off ebay for £5.00 here are some pics wayne.

What steering damper and how are you mounting it?

i believe it to be a jig hole on the front of the headstock at the bottom, perfect position for a damper, its hidden by the race cowl, then i removed the plastics from around the front of the tank and there are two holes that i could mount a fixing and have a 916 style damper on the bike. both positions are easy to get to, never fitted one before so will post pic of mock up or should that be muck up.

Yeah i cut one off years ago, it's a wierd feeling picking up your own finger and taking it to A&E.
I didn't bother having it stitched back on they couldn't gaurantee it would work?
hope it is ok it's the nerve damage and ligaments that are the issue

feeling hasnt come back on my bloody finger, so you done right there by not having it stitched back on, the doctor says that i would be better off without it as im in the building trade and i am liable to damage it even more now.

forks should be back this week, wilbers 641 rear shock and yamaha mt09 original forks modified with triumph speed triple internals, also spacers fitted due too much fork travel, will try to get a bit more info on forks if they will tell me. still waiting for decals and footrests

Yeah I am a joiner by trade and it happened on a bench ripsaw blunt one aswell, my mate did the same had it stitched back on and it never took he got infection and had to have it chopped off to the bottom knuckle.
might be an idea to remove it but I bet they won't do it on the nhs, bad news mate sorry to hear that

who is doing your forks?
So will you have compression and rebound adjustment on both of forks? thats an interesting concept the maxton cartridges I am looking at having fitted next week will cost me £600.
how much is this conversion costing.

£594.00 INCL vat for mine, i never seem to go down the easy (read sensible) road with anything, at moment unsure on settings as i left it up to them to sort out best options.

Ok I have just emailed richard @ Maxton and confirmed I am gonna have new cartridges with springs and adjustable fork tops on both legs and fit them myself which will cost £588
they will come set pretty much to my weight and use ie fast road and track

Yes flipper, their only about 4 miles from me, popped in after I had my bike, recommended by a friend who had his bandit done there.

Can't remember exactly, but 640 or 641 rings a bell for some reason. It's not something I've looked at before

They were doing it as I don't have the facilities to change them myself.

You went to see them then? Im still yet to go down on the MT because i know its money i carnt afford lol

Go for Nitron. Love mine and a lot cheaper than a yellow spring

dropped my bike off at Maxton yesterday Richard said a fortnight to do fork cartridges and gp10 rear shock which is the first one.
they will have to mount the resrevoir seperately on the frame for access to compression and rebound so hope it is
