So... to update the progress so far.

Picked up this bike from hellbound, insurance write off but overall it is pretty decent!

As a starter to even get on the road... it needs.
Tyres - arrived
Radiator - arrived at last
Brake lever - ebay cheap spazzos
Lots of melted plastic/cable tie bodges - standard
Bits straightening.

Picked it up, got it home and it looks like this.

First thing I wanted to really check was the forks, they seem "straight" with no bends in them, but they do appear to be slightly twisted. Hopefully the front end strip down will prove this, otherwise its £50 to get them set with the yokes.

Removal of the plastics is far easier than expected!

Yeah, subframe is twisted, but we have scaffold bar...

Once this was all stripped down outside and the parts were put away in the shed, I moved the bike indoors to start work on removing actual bolts and parts.

You probably all know that I don't really care what my commuter bikes look like, this is no exception, it won't be far different from what it looked like on arrival aside from being a bit cleaner and perhaps less dangly bits.

Either way, inside the shed I wanted to see how bad the bent subframe was.

https://yesterdaystheory.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tn_zx10.jpg

That bad, need to remove the hugger to see if the swing arm is bent...if it is, I have sourced a replacement.

With a bit of removal of pegs and bending...

https://yesterdaystheory.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tn_zx8.jpg

https://yesterdaystheory.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tn_zx9.jpg

...I was left with this.

https://yesterdaystheory.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tn_zx11.jpg

https://yesterdaystheory.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tn_zx12.jpg

Any from that last picture you'll see the scaffold bar, car battery and smoke from the exhaust.. she runs Albeit a little rough, but it will get a carb strip, clean and a new air filter/plugs as standard.

Not working on it today but I shall post updates regularly

[J.M.]

Awesome

Glad the radiator finally arrived too...

On the road by next weekend please?

Also why is you CBR still in bits? You did the exhaust ages ago

If it helps ive got a standard set of down pipes and possibly a standard rear shock if needed. Can be had for a very reasonable amount!

I may have some other bits and peices also...

[P.]

How reasonable we talking?

I'm yet to check the shock and downpipes, have heard no leaking when it started so maybe a plus

[stonesie]

Looks a great project If you want a louder can I've got one on Ebay at the moment.

[P.]

Nice can but I think a stubby on track might get me noticed too much, I'm crap at riding

That and it may be a little loud and slightly out of my range currently

Next plan for this is to either do a "Tim" and wire a switch for the ignition rather than the key, or simply wire in a new barrel. Ignition has pretty much worn itself out.

Next plan for me if to remove hugger, drop the front end off and see if I can wiggle it all straight.

Also going to check over the swing arm and the rear subframe as one of them is definitely still not square, so measurements need to be made

[stonesie]

It was worth a try

Hope it's something nice and easy to straighten up

[Groove]

[hellbound]

[AL-]

Can we do Brands on it yet

[P.]

[AL-]

Good old Lydden

[Moxey]

You should leave the insurance squiggle marks on the fairings. Start a trend.
