ok so started gen today and she didnt really want to start, but i got her going. Just to get the fluids running, anyways turned her off looked down and there was oil everywhere. Shit!!!!! she isnt leaking now but ill have to rip the fairings off tomorrow and check her over. It looks like its coming from the left side right of the water pump, so now things will be coming off sooner then i wanted hahaha.

lol, i bloody hope you know what your talking about.... lol
Or ill be up for a bottom end. will check tomorrow if i have enough light. Tried to find some plastics today, so far no good. priced them from kawasaki, and yeah they can keep them for that price. The side can be plastic welded im not really fused about that, ill just weld the cracks, and repaint that, but i really wanted to get the factory top, but might have to go for the fibre glass option. :twisted:
