Yep, after a little over 7 months off the road due to a little run in with a cliff face up at reefton, my pride and joy has been bolted back together and is looking sweet (thanks to a few members on here, I-K, T), Icebreaker.... thanks guys
).
it fired up with a little effort and runs just as swwet as pie still but when i dropped it back on its sidestand again, i noticed it had a bit more lean than i was used to. a bit of searching around the thing and i discovered that what i thought was a bent subframe causing my tank and seat to be seperated turns out to be a bent FRAME doing this and causing the forks to sit closer to the radiator
not to be robbed of my first ride on the bike in 7 months, i rolled it out and took it round the block. the thing feels fine under normal road conditions, but i wouldn't trust it under the pump with the geometry all stuffed around like it is.
Anyways, the jist of this is that i need to find somewhere to straighten the frame for me now and rather than doing the ring around and having to make a decision on whether to trust my frame and $$ to someone based on a 2 minute conversation, i thought i'd see if anyone has any experiences with a decent mob. if you reckon you know somewhere reputable and hopefully not to exxy, please let me know, i'm itching to have a crack at the spurs again now
- the Z1000 light was MEANT to be on a 7R :)
- Something is bent isn't it :(
