[tobomoto]

ive beng at it quite a bit and ive decided im going to break itfor spares. it needs 2 tyres, chain and sprockets, brake discs and pads, forks, battery and some other stuff so i wont get any money on it if i get it sorted out. ill try and get the engine going on monday (day off-yay!) but it will be broken. ill put an ad in the for sale section in a bit.

bit of an update on manky. it is going to a new home soon and will probably be turned into a streetfighter. the reason im getting rid is because i have 2 zxr400s and a zx7r to get on the road, have loads to sort out on my car, loads to sort out on the missus car and a fair bit of stuff to do around the home. anyhoo, the original plans i had were to put a zx10r engine in it and get carbon fibre panels for it, carbon fibre seat unit, zx6r forks and brakes, brembo radial master cylinder, ohlins shock, full nut and bolt strip down, get the frame and swing arm anodised and use as many titanium bolts on it as i could, and loads of other trick bits on it. the only standard bits would be the yokes but even they would be anodised. i worked out it would be about £2.5k spent on it.
however... after getting an insurance quote on the wrong side of £3.5k and too many conditions i quickly decided against it.

as i said i just wont have the time to get it done. it would end up as a show bike because of the amount i would spend on it so sort of defeat the object of it really. then i thought about doing it as a streetfighter with a daytime mot as a cheap option to get it on the road. i would have to look into a few things though- where to put the expansion tank so it was out of the way, what radiator and oil cooler to use ect. i was also going to have a one off exhaust on it sort of like a 2007-2010 triumph speed triple exhaust but it would be a one off as i would make it. but i have decided to let my mate have the worries and head scratching of it all so i dont know what it will end up like now. i will get some progress pics up if he lets me and if anyone is interested in it.
for now though, ive got to get my green zxr mot'd then sold, zx7r built so i can use it as a daily, rebuild my other zxr so i can sell that as well. oh and ive got a week to get all that done before i go back to work!
