Aim to get it up and riding for the rest of summer (needs service, MOT and rear caliper sorting) then over winter tart it up!

Thinking flatbars/risers/twin lights etc and black paintwork maybe with some airbrushing.

I think it's fucking ace!!! Buzzing.

Sweet.

Looks tuff....


Then you see 'Full Floater' on the rear funny.

[trevoriv]

Nice. How much did someone pay you?

Check the link in my sig

As annoying as it sounds, I'd look to restoring it back to as close as OEM as you can get. Stock mint condition slabbies are getting few and far between!

FFS dont fighter it they are a much better stock bike just tart it up to as near standard as you can and go for a paint job from the ERA ie:-
Lucky strike - Pepsi suzuki or even go for the Heron suzuki it will look the doggies dude

Matt has just posted exactly why you should keep your bike standard lass. You know it makes sense...

Haha, if I do it it will be properly and tidily done, neat small custom clocks etc. Also will be looking to upgrade the brakes and suspension etc. This is a bike I want to make my own, not just hang onto then re-sell.

On a crappy note, the lad who was buying my CBR couldn't get the money after all, so it's still up for grabs!! Need it gone, have no space

Well I finally got my mitts on her tonight, even though I paid and got V5 on Sunday was still cautious about it actually being mine!

I think I'd of preffered a slingshot as a basis for a fighter (not that I condone fightering lol - made finding a standard 750M a real arse!!!) as much as I like the slabby's they don't handle too well (18" wheels, flexy frame) and the engine is devoid of any midrange whatsoever. The handling will be pants compared to your '29 so prepare for a culture shock!
