I've got a scaffold pole and some gaffa tape you can borrow to repair the swing arm - worked a treat on the CB5

Do you know why it went down?

WJB.... I've had a fair few off's over the years (who hasn't?) but non like this I just get the feeling it was cold tyres and maybe a tad too much lean angle, really hard to say for sure, I was only 300yds from home so the tyres were clearly stone cold and rumbled around the r/about at 25mph, just started to roll the throttle on the exit, not a handful by any means and next thing I'm spinning round towards the deck, like I've said the swingarm is the major damage, the rest is the usual stuff from an off, clip on, peg, lever... blah blah blah

It's knocked the confidence a bit though as I keep replaying it over and over in my head trying to figure out exactly what I did.

I think they'll be gaffer tape a plenty for the weekend though
