Snapped the Rear caliper and lines Twelvin?

I can't believe this ****.... I was out riding today for like 10 minutes, practicing no-throttle-handers and...

I brought back to slow it down, THEN: I felt a "POP!!!" in the rear brake then I was scraping(I didn't have my wheelie bar on ) I hit the brakes a few times and nothing so jump off the ****er running behind it pull in clutch and park it. I set it down and look at it, I had snapped the ****ing Caliper bracket that mounts to the Support bar to swingarm(GSXR1000). the caliper had rotated all the way around the rotor and also snapped the brake line!!!! WTF!

This blows. Now I need a caliper and lines, not to mention the tail i had just re-painted!!!

Anybody heard of this **** before? Daaaaamn, I have the worst luck!!!

I got 929 parts to trade!!! ignition switch and triples, guages.

GSXR1000 parts to trade, tank, one dent, an extar fuel pump, Set of clip ons, pegs, shifter and more... hit me up!!!!


Thanks, Derek Lee

kirk newcomer is a decent person
did you just change a tire? that happened to me once. i have a 929 and just changed a tire. when i put the caliper back on i didn't have it in the grove in the swingarm. it rotated down under the swing arm stretching and ripping brand new braided lines.
anyhow it's happened to me too, sorry about your luck
