Hi Guys,
just thought i'd share the bike with you.
it belonged to another member on here and i'd had a go on it a few months back whilst he used my bike to go to a fancy work do
when i had the bike it was just great fun to ride, and i'd wanted to buy it from him for months. Eventually, he agreed so on hogmany i got a van and collected it!

it's a Jap Import Honda VRX400 on an N reg but i'm sure its a '95.
it needs a bit of work, which is fine with me. i can't ride for a few months due to recent surgery, so it will give me time to get it ready.
the first thing is the rear wheel bearings as it should be something relatively easy to do, but my priority is this:

the fork is pitted pretty badly, and i'm struggling to find a new set, so probably sending them off to get re-chromed in the next fortnight. (i'll do the seals myself)
while the forks are off and the wheel bearings are getting done, i'll be giving the brakes a service, changing the chain and sprockets, and i aim to have it taxed, tested, and on the road for april. maybe get the bike resprayed too as there are a few scratches on the tank and some damage on the rear mudguard.
it's a lovely bike (albeit not a fast one) but i look forward to getting on the road with it! ____________________ Current: Kawasaki ZL600 Eliminator

it was Zero's - he had an avatar of the road rage game
it's a really nice bike, i can see me comfortably keeping it for a long time. i'm in two minds whether or not to just respray it black and keep as is, or to get a new colour on it completely!
as for the chroming on the forks, if anyone could recommend anywhere to do the job for me, i'd appreciate it! ____________________ Current: Kawasaki ZL600 Eliminator
