Hi Gary,

Looking good 8)

But even by my standards, I think you are a little bit early with the Mr Sheen :lol:

Keep the photos coming [-o<

Cheers

I think your bike deserves much better suspension than ZXR400's. something from mid 2000 onwards.

thats what i will be after ,something like those
a mate has a complete spotless front end off a fire blade 2000 model
usd forks they look like new but maybe a bit old ,i can have a look for nothing
it will be on its wheel tomorrow i hope
today i got deliverd
front rs250 wheel
radiator
brembo rear caliper and carrier
rear subframe
front subframe
head bearings
and a couple of other bits
a mate is picking up the engine mounts to bore the holes to 12mm on something better than a hand drill
saturday and will bring them back sunday
and i can get the engine lined up and trace round where i want the brackets welding to
then strip it again and get it to a welder
