looks a stonka that Mel lad. Never mind what the others think of it. It's yours so be proud of it. If it's not their cup of tea then tell em to go you for coffee :lol: :lol: (u fuk offi)
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Thanks folks for the comments glad you all like. Ok i give you a little spec. I got the bike off my mate a year ago he owned the bike for 19 yrs and it was all original when i got it off him best thing is i know its total history and know everything it had replaced in its life :nod: this is what it had before i got it, new rear shock, stainless exhaust, new front mudgaurd, forks re-chromed, stage 3 dynojet, k&n filter, heavyduty clutch. Everything else was original on the bike from new he did look after it too. Now these are the mods so far that ive done. Exup swingarm and 17 wheel, R1 seat unit, 04-06 fairing (plastic not fibrecrap lol) and headlights and clocks, yzf 750 front end yeh 6 pots usd forks lol ive sprayed frame and arm matt black ive also sprayed the engine(for many years ive never found a good paint for engine but now if you go b&q and buy bbq paint it gives a brilliant new look finish) It will be finished soon i keep you all posted on progress im hopin to be back on it sometime in august its been off road about 6 weeks now cos i only get every other wkend to work on it as i live in oxfordshire and my bikes in north manchester lol sorry for the long reply. Oh and i got the original parts for sale on ebay

Cool!! When you get her up and running, we should meet up and go for a spin. My missus Ice Queen has an FZR (currently running a restrictor which comes off in September) and Bro-in-law has an 91 RU

Did you prep the engine for the paint? or just spray and go? :D
