Not been on here properly in a while, still sorting out things after moving home!

Anyway, as you may remember i got knocked off filtering on the way to work. Insurance wont pay out, aparently its my fault because i filtered. So im repairing my little B1h myself!.

I got my zx6r on finance in Januray. Here it is in the sunshine:

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00299.jpg

I was planning a few things such as the green sidelights (got) green, "angle eye" lights, white bulbs, nicer indicators and rimtape. Never got round to it as on the 29th of Febuary i went in the back of a nice big white LDV:

After finding out insurance is a waste of time, ive started repairing it myself.

My girlfriend got me front and both side fairings for my birthday, which was nice!

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/P060608_170501.jpg

Using my old screen for time being whilst i buy more important bits such as new left side rearset (in the post). Also as you can see one side of my headlight has exploded, so new headlight when i sorce a cheapish one!

Yesterday instead of working i connected my indicators i brought back in febuary and finished the rim tape i started! So currently she looks like this:

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/P100608_1706.jpg

Still need to get fairing infills, air scoop, grill, headlight, screen and front fender.

Total cost so far: £490 ish

Crashing is expensive

Getting there. Just been searching around for an air scoop and clock surrounds after some muppet took out the wife on Monday, local bike shop wanted £55 for the clock surround and about £85 for the air scoop (naturally both brand new from Kwak) which I didnt think was to bad. Probably very hard to find second hand as most get damaged in an accident!

We maybe able to help out with the headlight, as it happens we have a mint one laying around...if the offer is right and will be getting a BRAND new one if the offer is better Smile I wont pretend to be cheap because we're hoping to get enough for it as possible...

There is this tho: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220244522778&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=012 which we're using as gauge Smile

Aye the headlights in "new" condition go for £100 give or take.

I assume you got the fairings second hand ?

The indys you have, they look like a set I got from the States. I couldn't get them to fit over the hole are yours the same ?

Haha, the MZ cloud was almost embarassing.

Nah I wasn't riding. I was with the dodgy looking guy with that crappy GS500.

Was sitting on the van just behind him, was weilding my camera aswell.

Sorry Groove for the hi-jack! I'll be quiet now.

Ah yeah with Pedo? Poor old GS500 Smile the car exhaust sold it for me.


As for the headlights...we have 3... Cool one has broken mounts but been on the bike for 6 weeks now and been fine (glass/plastic front is fine), another one we bought from Ebay which is used but extremely good condition, barely a mark on it and the other is brand new from the insurance company.

We were in two minds whether to keep the decent second hand one and sell the brand new one providing it went for enough but otherwise the 2nd hand one would be sold and maybe even the broken one.

Yeah with Pedo. First time I've met him, quite an image he's got going on there! I was just the van driver this year.

I was wearing big silly white sunglasses.

Hah, come on it's hardly precision engineering is it! And let's face it, you do look quite dodgy.

It went surprisingly well though, until it stopped obviously.

Ok, no more hi-jacking Groove's thread.

So i was reminiscing about the bikes ive had and came across my old thread and realised i never finished it off Laughing

So, ive got a few pics remaining and this is roughly where it left off;

Whilst it was in my workshop at well..work, my old manager managed to bring the forks down on the combi forklift down on to the rear of my bike sitting in one of the unused isles.

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/P220808_1559.jpg

Coincidently, he was sacked the same week so he never paid for the extra damage.

I bought a used rear fairing from ebay and sold the damaged one for the same price anyway so it didnt matter in the end. eBay is a funny thing.

I bought all the little bits and pieces i needed to get the job done. A new rear tyre and fork seals where also replaced and it was put back together.

I bought a used headlight off of ebay but after a week of using it this happened;


https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00714.jpg

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00718.jpg

Which was caused by this re-breaking

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00724.jpg

Now i cant remember if i repaired this headlight or bought another but this is how it turned out;

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00705.jpg

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00710.jpg

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00706.jpg

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00756.jpg

https://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh163/adam673673/DSC00755.jpg

I miss her.

I sold her and the buyer shipped it off to the Netherlands never to be seen again.

I then had an 99 R1 and a blue b1h, but id still be tempted by another green b1h at the right price Smile
