I couldn't wait

Or more to the point, I couldn't pass this up at the price.







Should keep me busy for a couple of months.

that is a smick looking bike...

so whats the plans??
new exhaust??

I don't think I'll worry about the exhaust just yet. There are lots of things that are more important.
This will need replacing;


and this has got to be one of the dodgiest things I've seen for a while.


I did manage to score a Metzler Z1 for the back and he is getting me a new front tyre, then it will need stripping down and a proper coat of paint. Mind you, the finish isn't too bad for a spray can - 'cept where he painted over the original stickers. A few minor cracks in the plastics will need welding. Then there is the front wheel. It's taken a bit of a knock. It doesn't seem to affect the rideability but I was planning on polishing the rims.
Motor wise it seems pretty sound. It runs like a dream when warm, but a total pig when its cold - and of course it had been run before I took it for a test ride yesterday A good service and a carby balance should fix it up. It will keep me out of mischief for a while and for the money I paid I got nothing to complain about.

I would take those ZZR stickers off the back, they are wrong.....

Yeah, wrong on so many levels. But its ok, they're falling off of their own volition.

Well done buddy and congrats

first mod... 250 stickers?

Nah mate. Not registered. Maybe if the 'project' doesn't eat up enough of those months.






But I did think it.

Good stuff Daisy, good luck with the 'rebuild' as it were.

congrats

Onya Daisy...

Glad you stayed loyal.

Good find Daisy, Enjoy the Renovating process. they grow up so fast. .

are those tyres "retreaded" ??

thats funny as..lucky he didnt bin it!!

good work..that will keep u amused for a while till ur off restrictions!!

They're the tyres that were on it when it skated along somewhere on its right side. While I was first looking at it some guy came up and said, "They're brand new tyres!" I said, "I don't think so. "



Do you reckon I can get that rim straightened?


edit; That pic didn't look that big when I just resized it. But I'm not doing it again. I can't get the hang of this Gimp thing.

gimp? *looks towards neka*

oh and speaking of gimp, a usefull program a workmate pointed me towards was "portable app", just use it to keep all your crap on a thumb drive if you hop computers reasonably regularly.

and retreaded sports tyres, now that IS a worry.
