Ah yes.. bikes from the days when parts were cheap and labour cheaper..:-)

The same list for a zx6 or 10 would be about $3000... :oops:

yeah i know, my other half just crashed his CBR600 few weeks back, and he lost most of his front end..not worth repairing, too much, mines a few hundred, his is a few thousand, lol, mines only a gpx250r 1990 model, something to throw around til i get more experience :D

Glad to see you've joined Odium :-).

Good luck with the repairs, oh and may i recommend you get hold of some "plastex" if you need to repair cracked fairings, that stuff is the shnitz and is worth paying the $30 or so they are asking for a 5ml kit :-).

Hey Kayla
