Does it matter if the bracket holding my headlight and front indicators is broken/bent? as long as the headlight is pointing staight? It doesn't move freely (or it wont when I put it back on)

Cheers

Bent bracket + hammer + vice = problem gone. Magic. Smile

If it's broken and doesn't hold the headlamp properly, I'd see about getting your local friendly mechanic to weld it (there will be one somewhere who isn't interested in ripping you off, probably in a small unit on an industrial estate)

If the headlamp wobbles or doesn't point in the right direction it is entirely likely that it will fail the MOT.

ok, cheers Smile
it doesn't wobble or anything, it's now back on and is straight, but offset to the left hand side of the bike slightly, hopefully that'll be ok Smile

Cheers
