You do have a good point. I didn't think of that. God I'm not very good with this searching malarky. Then again it is pointing it out to other potentially saving someone some grief :thumbup:

Everyone misses things as well, I just have a habit of always reading descriptions for no apparent reason. Can't leave an eBay item until I have. :lol:

might be ok for a trackbike, if you could get it for £150 maybe it would be worth breaking it down and rebuilding an existing engine.
any used engine is a gamble unless you hear it running...

front caliper upgrade. same as mine from a cbr900rrw. whack a cbr600f4 m/c and your doing stoppies.... :lol:
iirc i only paid £40 for mine, but these come with s/s bolts and look clean, you will need to mod them slightly to fit. a good upgrade tho.

I'm sure they have been on before. They need some carbon exhaust protectors on them and they will be OK. Worth a £100 any day.
