Thanks to everyone i have been bugging for bits and annoying for help.. here are some pics of my monster in its original colours almost finished.. (just needs a tank strap and the tax disc... and a bloody good wash)

1, clutch slave cylinder screwed
2, clutch plates stuck
3, wiring TOTALLY screwed
4, indicators looked awful
5, tank resprayed
6, wheels had paint flaking everywhere looked awful
7, side panel screws seixed in loose so panels flapping about
8, alarm fitted
9, foot hangers all corroded (now in a matt black)
10, chain and sprockets so badly gunked up they could breath and rust but couldnt really turn either!!!
11, mirrors were these useless things that were no good to anyone!
12 brake hoses were all bulgy.. so new braided goodridge fitted
13, clutch line the same
14, belts were totall wrong god knows how the nike is still running... new belts fitted..

looks fab!!! well done.

12-04-2010, 12:52 PM

this is the one i paid 500 for.. i was about to send you the link hahahahaa

12-04-2010, 01:08 PM

£500 was a bargain!..
Its a cracking bike..
I wish I had got the £800 one I saw as its a nice colour.
But I was put off as it had no service history.

As it was the one I went for needed lots doing to it .. and got me home then broke down, the back brake lever fell off and was hanging .. so I rode home with no back brake.
Then it was shipped up to Norfolk to be fixed.
I will gradually make it my own as I can't have a bigger bike as I am so short and I went for the most basic bike so touch wood can't go too wrong! I went for carbed model on purpose.
I think its a good base model ... although I wish people would stop flashing their SS's about !!! I would like a little yellow one. But 2 Dukes ... couldn't afford to run two of the wallet drainers!

hahaha this was offered to me as my mate had had enough of it looking crap and got an r1.. i was going to get a cbr 9 but i took pity on this as i thought to myself i have the time and ability to fix it so why not... although i am a car mechanic really so there are bits i dont know about on bikes lol... i wish there were ore m600s here although i wouldnt say no to an s4r....
