Here is a pic of the new seat i had recovered, ive also repainted the sidestand, rear indicator stalks today and fitted new indicators due to the old ones having marks on them.

Your seat guy does a terrific job there - looks better than OEM
Very very nice

Ive just stripped down the front brake calliper and it is in fantastic condition a clean up and a paint will see it done.

Going to order a new chain tonight and a number plate in the morning.

Mike says he has the headlamp fairing and all the original fitting kit

Ive just bought myself an inexpensive bike to run around on, its a GSX600F with just 2,000mls on the clock and it looks like it never left the showroom, when Mark delivered it i was gobsmacked at the condition of it and i payed next to nothing for it.

Makes a change from having £10,000 in a superbike that never gets used, going to have a custom seat made tomorrow by my mate Richard then fit a race can and some new tyres as they are the original tyres from new and they will have me on my arse faster than a fast thingie.

its a GSX600F

Underestimated bike that one, a bit like the RF900. Not popular but a bike you can ride to its limits & therefore fun.

Bombproof engine too as they are based on the gsxr750 lump but underbored to get the capacity down. Can take anything u throw at them.

Very underrated, sounds like a great buy fella

Posted: **Tue Sep 04, 2012 9:49 pm**

Proper shiny?
Looks unbelievably clean and shiny to me already !!

Just where do you find all these bikes?

Had my first ride on the AR50 today around the garden, great fun i didnt want to get off i even got into 3rd gear and pinned it wide open.

I saw one like yours TR during the week only a few miles from were we live. I was in the van and he followed me for a few miles then turned off.
It was a very tidy looking AR, and was the first one I've seen for years.
