I bought this on a whim no body work apart from the tank and belly pan so im looking for everything for it , not shure what to do with it yet been stood for quite a wile ,so the first thing is a service starting with the brakes as they all bind . the subframe has been totaly mullerd and the last owner sold all the bodywork ??
looking for any advice on mods for the bike it is a very early carb 1996 model vin 001148 .it does run and sound nice just needs a bit of work

i did not pay alot for it £350 plus £50 to deliver it as that is what it would have cost for van hire , the guy wanted a quick sale so we did it that day and managed to get it in to the garage before the wife got home , my fist job is the brakes then tyres and chain ,then i can start playing with the body work ,so i will be chasing parts and i need a lot

And I have a very blank canvas. Been looking at lots of seats and the best one was from a new Norton Domi racer all carbon but it would eat a lot in to the budget at £290 Just for the seat

I was wondering who would end up with it. Considered it myself but there was too much missing for me to consider shipping it over.
I have quite a few spares including the rear subframe etc. Mac also has a ton of spares.
Would be nice to see it turned into a shiny poo
Hi Rob I would like your brake lines of they are for sale. I'm keeping my Calipers as they are the gold ones and just need a 're build

the accepted wisdom is that you cant polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter
good luck with your project
they did it on myth Busters once ,i think they used compressed elephant poo but you are right about "glitter" or" Keved " like when you see a bike covered in every bolt on tat and you say to your mates that bike has been totally Keved up .
