Nearly There
She's taking shape. All she needs is the new front brakes and Goodridge lines, the radiator off for repainting and fitting of the stainless cover, a full service, a home made shroud I'm working on to cover the clocks, and she's ready for her MOT test.

FB,
I like the colour scheme, the shroud Can be flat with the top of the birdcage acting as a wind shield if you raise the trailing edge and then it will be easy to fix to the birdcage.

Re: Nearly There
Cheers guys 
She's been done on a tight bugget (women!). She's a '91 single ehadlamp model, but the twin lights and birdcage were a £10 egay win. The tank and front mudguard are original, but the fairing and side panels were damaged in a spill. The fairings in the shed and I can't be arsed to put the effort/expense of repairing them and recreating the itnricate paintjob, and the side panels repaired with a soldering iron, and car body filler (tiny ammounts, to hide the DIY plastic repair). I wasn't up to recreating the original US flag job on the side panels, so went with Krylon Patriotic blue, which is the best goddam plastic paint i've ever used. Frame was resprayed with black Hammerite, which is cheap and durable. The original front pipes were an unknown brand of stainless, and have been repainted in VHT black. The silencer is a road legal aftermarket job from an R6, a £35 eay win.
Once she's road legal again i'll repaint the swinger, maybe even replace it with a 400 one. I only paid £480 for her over a year ago, and the sprucing up has only cost me another £150 or so once finished, so whilst she's far from mint she's clean, tidy and respectable for a rock botom outlay, and ready for a few more years cheap fun.

Re: Nearly There
Got a brand new pillion seat for a tenner (ebay again) and the front seat for a tenner too. Got lucky with the front one cos the seller didn't know what it was for so the listing made no mention of "FZR600" (only "Yamaha"), so I was the only bidder. It's a tasty bum perch. Anyone know what make it might be?

But a 100% legal one. It's essential when you park in a police station compound, right outside the sector commanders office, every day...megaloxana wrote:I tell ya what though...thats a big license plate.
