    Parts approved. Labour is on me. At least some good news. Just waiting for the detailed quote to give an indication of total labour cost. Assuming it's going to be close to Partyranger's amount of R16k.

    Thanks man will do 🤞 KTM Silver Lakes. Trax Moto. Did you pull any special tricks to get them to pay? I don't mind paying for labour. Also aren't you worried it's going to happen again?
