So I jump the train across to west london to pick up my bargain FZR1000R (300 quids ya know)...

And this is what I got for my money...

Initial problems are no working speedo or temp guage, along with the known fuel pump issue and the dented frame (clearly seen in the picture)... Lots of cracks (the photo's make it look better than it is)... but it rides really well, engine is nice n smooth and the brakes work (R1 calis), tires are diablos and seem good, shock is hagon and its got modded doggies so tips in nice, and a nice sounding art performance can!!

The bad bit is the MOT, only runs till August 21st.... but then thats three 3 weeks thrashing!!!...

Yep very true Easy, very true... had a closer look and few more bits have been unearthed... exhaust blows, but thats cos its not clamped to the headers

no main beam

one tail light works

If it handles ok fill the dent and put carbon frame thingys on, the rest should be a couple hrs work

The headlights actually look quite cool like that... sunk back I mean.
I take it they are not Exup lights then?
And you could just fill and paint the frame. Its a bit shit if its not bent it will fail just with a bash in it $:\$

I dunno if they have any left, but Demon Tweeks used to do carbon frame protectors along time ago. I think. Erm memory loss. Give them a call it wont harm anyways.

Aye good call Malc. Busters have some unusual stuff knocking about. Still do rear sets for an Exup, so why not frame protectors.

Thanks Paul, The ones listed are for a 95... anyone know if they might fit? I have also eamiled the guy cos at that price they are worth a punt...

Reason end can wasnt connected to the headers was the end of the headers where it fits over is.... er non existant!!!
