Broken front brake tab from gabel
« on: May 19, 2025, 07:52:09 AM »
Hallo/Hello/G'day and Moin!

Today i made the stupid mistake of trying to ride away on my 86' BMW r65 whilst my brake lock was still attached to my front wheel.
My question is: Is this repairable? Or will i need to purchase new a front gabel/fork (or just the broken side i guess...)??

Really kicking myself for this one.....only had the old girl for 2 weeks! Grrrrrrrrrr!

Looking forward to some replies.

Nick.

Hiya, you broke the cast tab(s) on the alloy fork lower?

There are lots of people with grizzled dispositions here, horror story pics appreciated so we can understand please  :)
