MK2 Yet another project !

#1 PostAuthor: KWACKERZ1 » Sat Nov 26, 2016 5:53 pm

Although i need to finish all my other projects, got tempted by this today.
:?? from a mate of mine. (via someone called Neil)

It will probably take me 10 years to do it but,

Cant decide to go back standardish or, go modern'esq sanctuary style
(but on the cheap)

Its already different as it has a zx6r arm converted to twin shock.

Apparently the motor came from someone on here in amongst our scottish contingent, Its been blasted a while ago and the cases are now and aged colour.

Did you buy off Chris, he came over mine last week and said it's sold, which pissed me off as I would have liked it, it's calling to be heavily modified, will be nice when finished. Cheers Neil

Neil
Yes we were chatting on the phone 8 or so weeks ago and he said he was thinking of selling if I knew anyone and I said I would have it there and then.

He then, after thinking about it backed out.
But he said if he changed his mind he;d let me know.

So I badgered him into selling it me and wore him down picked it up today.

Will be in storage for a bit till I get sorted with some other stuff,
I would like a standard battery box and electrics brackets and clocks.

Chris as you know , there is no such thing as cheap builds these days but, I can tell you one thing it wont be a pmc catalogue showpiece.! It will be made of begged and ebayed parts.!

I do have most of a zx9rb chassis lying around so USD's could be an option.
