I don't know if you've thouht of this, but if you use an R frame, none of your plastics or your seat or rear subframe will fit it.

I'd leave it as it is. It'l be great for the left handed twisties.

Seriously though WTF happened. Were you broadsided or something???

Looking good so far mate. :thumbsup:

It'll be interesting for me to see it built back up from scratch. Will be watching eagerly with what you do to her. :nod:

I want to dismantle mine down to the bare bones one day. :cool:

Not sure about a good home :paranoid: . I'm using my parts hoard from bikes I broke and not spending unless I have to, so although the bike will be OK, it's not going to be an oil painting.

Currently have it in a state where the engine is in and the wheels are on but all progress is stopped while I sort out finishing the house extension.

Just glad I didn't crash my FZR4/6 hybrid on the track last week or I would not have had a road bike, not that I've got time to go out at the moment anyway :rolleyes: .
