au au au......that must hurt:cool4:

This is of no help at all!
 

There is a new tenere on the market in 08.
Break up the bike, sell the parts and put the cash to another one! :rolleyes2:

I beat you to it on a XT500 'bout 20 years back. Took the splines off and left a huge gash in the clutch housing with me nose diving the front mud guard..... All this in front of a girl I was trying to impress too :lol: As a quick fix I used Liquid Metal epoxy. Brilliant stuff for patching, in the short to medium term, holes in the covers in non-stress bearing areas.

ouch!
