Love the fact he had the crash bobbins skimmed to remove the grains of dust stuck in it

This thread is worth every bit of bandwidth if its stop people with crashed '99 hornets with rust and paint missing claiming their bike is mint.

I've worked on loads of show cars in my time and the levels of obsession are unlimited. I once spent four days on a single MGF door skin, the guy would not accept any defects before it went into paint, no filler, no lead, just plain sheet metal work.

Loving the underseat exhaust.

Do I dare say, more than your old R1's?

I just came looking at that thread. Bet he's spent a small fortune on that so far. Brilliant so far anyway.

I don't really see anything special. He's doing a very light resto on a modern bike. I don't think it strange he's doing it, I see it strange taking so many detailed pictures of nothing. That is unless you find a picture of a genuine yamaha washer interesting.

[SamJL]

Its not really a restoration though.

Its more of a refresh and modify, and very good one at that

[jack_zxr400]

Nothing special??

Carbon fibre fucking wheels!!!

Im surprised N30 hasnt copied him

Could you be fucking arsed?

Hose it down and maybe a bit of polish yeah, but fuck that.

[Mudskipper]

Lol, 'cleaning', like there was anything wrong with it in the first place!

Doesn't do anything for me.

Now proper restorations, removing 20 years of 3mm thick rust to get a shine kinda stuff, now that would be worth viewing a long thread for.

Looks like someone was diagnosed with OCD and mild Autism at an early age, and their parents gave them a set of spanners to keep them quiet.

25 years later, this is the result

[evoboy]

I has genuine 30year old Suzuki branded bolts...

Problems.

The guy is a tool, I cite the following evidence:

1. The yellow Samco hoses are disgusting.
2. He has a framed picture of some topless bint on a Ducati in his garage.
3. He has installed strip LED's under the tail - chavtastic!

The prosecution rests.

[Blackwolf]

He dosent seem to mind about the cost!

That bike was mint before he started.

Wish I had the time, patience and money though.
