is this ok to ride on?

[Clutch]

so i guess i overtighten this. (not sure what to call it) and broke the upper triple tree on my firebolt. i took the bolt out and it isnt broken all the way through. you guys think this will be ok to ride on until i get a new one?

 

[dave_xb12r]

a little JB Weld maybe for a little more piece of mind?

[ak12r]

I would JB weld it until you get new. I JB'd my shift pivot and ordered a new one it is holding up good!

Judging by the condition of RJ's bike, I'm not sure I'd take his advice on this one.

Better safe than sorry, my friend.

NO NO NO....don't die just to ride a few days longer, just find a used one consider the children!

"That was my only laydown" ....If the wheels were turning, even a little bit, it's not a "laydown". That my friend is a "crash" And Clutch, don't even think about it, wait till you get a new one. Wayne
