Bike blew over in the wind.

[Nicky-Jano]

Heya was wondering whether I could get some advice about some damage that happened to my CG when it went over.
It went over on it's right side damaging the foot peg and front brake leaver.

Not sure if it can be seen too well from the pictures but it is at a right odd angle.
How can I get it back to being flat?
I did think of a hammer but that didn't work, maybe I'm just a pansy .
Also do I have to worry about my front brake?
It seems alright but is there any reason for those balls on the end or am I safe to ride it without the ball end?
Thanks .
Oh and the bike isn't on a side stand, it does look like it is but that's due to my crappy picture taking skills .

Unlucky. Did you have a cover on? In strong winds it's best to keep it uncovered as the cover acts like a sail.

I wouldn't fret about the foot peg. The lever has plenty on it so personally, I woudn't rush to replace. But the ball on the end gives extra grip so your gripping fingers don't slide off. If you can get a cheap replacement, i'd order it.

Thanks .
I don't have a cover just a really light bike .
The foot peg actually makes it quite awkward for me to use the back brake, I've tried it in stationary and I kind of feel like a ballerina .

Get someone with big boots to kick the footrest straight - I've done it many times. Other options are using a piece of tube or even a club hammer and piece of wood. Kicking it works best I found.

The lever is an MOT failiur now it's had it's ball chopped off

My MOT's in a month too .
Doubt it'll pass anyway sounds like a death trap and most probably is a death trap.
I just don't like to think of it .
Thanks for the help anyway .

Soz to hear about the bike. Not nice, is it?

Replacement levers are relatively cheap and are easy to replace. Pop to your local bike parts shop and pick one up (stuff like levers tend to be generic, so you'll find a lever that fits yours may also fit a CB250 as well, or something). It's deffo a CBT failure with the end chopped off.

As far as the footpeg goes, take Geri's advice. The CG is fairly bulletproof and you can kick it back into shape to a point without breaking anything!

I did notice my front brake isn't actually working all that well upon riding it .
Will have a fiddle with it tomorrow see if I can do anything with my tiny knowledge .
