I couldn't wait

[Daisy]

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??

[Daisy]

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.....

[Daisy]

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

[Lainie]

Well done buddy and congrats

[shrike]

first mod... 250 stickers?

[Daisy]

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






But I did think it.

[Gosling1]

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

[mrmina]

[Neka79]

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!!

[Daisy]

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.

[mike-s]

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.
