Very nice indeed ya lucky bastard.

How bad is the radiator? Is it worth replacing or could it be repaired. I know someone of you want to look at that option.

Shes twisted sorta... there are no leaks so its a big question mark.
I can re make the brackets but the fairing is attached at the sides so the alignment is the big prob there :? I havent had time to have a serious look yet so next week I will start sorting bits.

It will take some time to sort as the funds are now non existant but It will get there over time .... as for the grin? think I will be shitting myself :shock: I cant believe how light these bikes are ... just wheeling it around in the workshop its like OMG :shock: feels like my old RS125 sorta.. then i start thinking add 1000cc & 160 odd HP & Farrrk!

Going to start on the front end strip down next week while the tank dent is being pulled, its a fairly large dent so I will just use a heap of bondo in any depressions that are left & the bracket at the rear has been pushed sideways by 5-7mm so I will work on getting that straight at the same time... I have done this sorta stuff previously so I am confident on a good result.

My usual supplier Racers Edge don't do Fairings for these so Its back to Grahame at handcraft to see what can be done about race glass.... I have been looking & in the states there suppliers doping a full race glass kit landed for about $650 - $750 but I'm thinking how risky is this buying sight unseen & with the risk of damage in transit ..... the freight cost is $250 on its own!..... does anyone know of other suppliers of full race glass kits? apart from Wet4U & Hand Craft

Rob, why don't yo drop by our place on Sunday on the way home and check out the race glass I got from the US - landed at the door for $700 - it's not perfect, and was slightly damaged in transit, but I think it'll do just fine.

Thanks Dave I will be up there on Sunday so It sounds like a plan ... the cost from W4U is about $895 :shock: bit steep but they are not the manufacturers anyway so stands to reason they are expensive.
