    Hmm. A fair degree of guessing gives:
    * top fairing 500
    * side fairing 300
    * mirror 50
    * brake lever 15
    * bar 20
    * bar end 10
    * footrest 30
    * silencer 500
    * labour 250
    Total 1675

    But I've bound to have missed some stuff. So, to pick an entry, I'll
    go for £1850

    Mind you, if the tank and seat unit are damaged too, with maybe the
    footrest hanger, that's easily another grand.

    A quick guess - fork leg, maybe wheel/brake disc, fairing, screen, bar,
    clutch lever/bracket, grips, bar ends, tank, footpeg & bracket, gear
    lever & bracket & linkage, side panel, seat, possibly swingarm, rear
    caliper if on the left, maybe rear wheel/disc, silencer, rear footpeg &
    hanger, indicators, & assorted brackets & fixings.

    spend on the CBwossname?

    Isn't he just.

    I got my mistake out of the way early. Brand loyalty doesn't seem to
    have landed quite where I expected though...

    Or not.

    It wasn't a repeated post. The content was different and a cancel was
    issued for the first one.

    My prices were mostly in the right ballpark - I just missed a *lot* of
    stuff out. And how did you damage the RH mirror and indicator?

    Mind you, I was a mile out on the handlebar - this :
    ...is taking the piss, surely?

  16. £3100

    <Reads further into thread>

    Bloody hell. Makes the 1160 euros for a new alternator for the Tenere
    seem a bargain.

    When it got scuffed against the garage wall about five years ago, at a
    guess.
    Sort of. They're not even Honda bars, they're in the garage.

    Brand loyalty set in early for me:

    1979 - Honda SS50 moped - first bike
    1980 - Kawasaki Z200 - first 'proper' bike
    1981 - Kawasaki Z400D (twin) - pretty cool for the sixth form
    1982 - Kawasaki Z650B2 - just arrived at University
    1983 - Kawasaki Z750E1 - Z650 died after dispatch riding all summer
    1984 - Kawasaki GPZ750 turbo - first job, first pay packet - yee haw!.
    1986 - Harris Magnum 3 (with Kawasaki 750 turbo engine)
    1987 - Kawasaki GT750 - alongside Harris, for holidays and two-up 1988
    1987 - Kawasaki GPX750 - I fancied a bit of racing.
    1989 - Kawasaki ZXR750 (first in the UK) - more racing
    1989 - Kawasaki ZX10 - back to road bikes
    1989 - Yamaha FJ1100 - 6 months riding round Australia
    1990 - Kawasaki ZX10 - for when I got back to the UK
    1991 - Kawasaki ZZR1100 (C2) - faster than a ZX10.
    1994 - Kawasaki ZZR1100 (D1) - and now it's got a fuel gauge
    1999 - Kawasaki ZX9R (c2) - enough of practicality - let's go crazy!
    2001 - Suzuki GSX-R 1000 - early mid-life crisis
    2002 - Kawasaki ZX7R - racing again.
    2005 - Kawasaki ZX10R
    2006 - Suzuki GSX-R 600 - for the Manx GP.

    Not as many as I thought

    The ZZR1100 alternator and custom mounting plate and chrome end cap
    for the CBX was a real bargain, at £260.
