But thought it may be of interest to some.

My powervalve project, well the other half said I didn't have to get rid after all. So this is the F2 I got off John last year, nearly ready to bolt everything back together now after mucho powdercoating. There's not alot left that hsn't been coated, just fancied one without any brightwork on it.

So, current thinking is to throw on a 1 or 1s front end and rear wheel (I believe the wheel goes in with a bit of machining, but sticking the swingarm in involves a lot more work). Possibly grafting in a vj21 tank (Col seeya soon ) Pipes, something black with carbon cans, I think.

All suggestions considered

Hi Mark another lovely bike any chance of seeing the others will get my pohto,s sorted out soon

mark,

eye candy m8 very nice bike top job

Another nice "valve". I always wanted one, maybe later.

Cliff, it'll be for sale sooner or later, I'll do you a deal . To be honest I don't know what to do with it, do I carry on and make it a real special, or just get it finished very much as it is now? I mean I've got all of the bits to put a 1 or 1s front end in, was having a look today and a rg125 bananna arm looks promising (admitedly steel rather than rgv alloy one) I've got one of those spare and a wheel (takes a 130 tyre 17" rim). So I reckon for not a great outlay I could make it a bit more interesting.

Wayne,
think everyone on here's probably seen these pics but here's a link to a couple more of mine

Nah, I'm not that good Green KR is nearly all impregnated fibreglass from ARD, so only the tank needed doing- bought that it.
Orange one, Colin who built the bike is a sprayer by trade so that one's spot on anyway. Yellow one, that's me, not bad but subject to change, anyway if you need any spraying doing or need to know anything ask Lee, he's just done the RG I got for the mrs and it's a top job, well pleased with it, will stick some pics up when it's all back together.

all nice bikes, but too much bloody money for us pensioners!!

cracking YPVS....
i thought ud sold it ages ago mate... oops just realised i saw the add when it was for sale.

I was going to flog it, just never really pushed it, then the mrs said I'd better keep it as it gives me 'something to fiddle with' (other than her ) So, just keep doing bits as time allows. Think it's deffo going to get a front end change though.

Mark i've got a vj21 swing arm you can have if you want, its got suspension links but no shock. (Just take it when you sort out the tank)
might fit,might not? its here if you want it.

Cheers Col, will bell you.
