Meet Elsie

I have a GSXR 400 Front end inc Forks, Yolks, mudgaurd, wheel, discs, and 4 pot callipers so thats the biggest peice sorted, a nice set of Clip ons will finish it off

 

Is that an easy fit with yokes etc?

 

Ive been speaking with Mick Abbey tuning in Harrogate, he reckons he can give me 70bhp at the wheel but keep it reliable, hes going to do the barrels, crank cases & build a set of exhausts to suit.

Straight on Woody, in some cases a 3mm washer for the bottem as the yams tended to have larger tollerences lol.

 

Can I have ago?

 

Of course as long as you keep it rubber side down

 

what a nice square rear you have there daz i would just put the rgv front on it and have it done in the same colours as the one you have posted up mate

 

So its on with the strip down ......

















So engine to strip and casings, barrels off to Mick abbey tuning for tune and exhausts built. Unbelievably the guy was telling the truth its had a top end rebuild pistons are brand new so if the cranks ok its just mains and seals

Frame swing arm rear wheel off to powder coasters.

Front end to collect from ormskirk.

If really fancy a bike to do some restoration work.
How much have you budgeted?

 

£1900 will see this bike bought & completed

£750 Purchase Price
£550 Mick Abbey Tunning and Exhausts
£250 RGV Front end
£350 for paint, graphics & new stainless nuts & bolts throughout.

Only thing left after that is Tyres but Im trying to source the smaller 160's super sticky stuff

 

And they sell for a fair wack more I'm guessing?

I could go for around a grand and get away with it so this sort of project is out of my league. :/

 

Woody an rd 200 is what you want about 200 to buy about 500 to do worth around 1800 finished then use the money to get one of these

Check out the brand new pistons and honed barrels ready for running in, how lucky is that, saved me about £200 ........

 

don't forget to add £200-400 for 'stuff that you haven't thought about yet'

 

i am grafting and i will probably end up having to pay the price for the privaledge as well hahaha , wots dads for , am supposed to be resting , may as well do a course on steeple jacking or sumat less stressful, it would be cheaper and less strain on my old pins, and whats worse he is serious about bleeding orange :cry:
