    As we all know, the ZX-10R was recently took a trip down the road and I sustained a serious injury.

    I've got absolutely no plans whatsoever to get rid of the bike or give up riding, not an option for me. As I've previously discussed, I'm going to try and kit the bike out with track intentions in mind and to use on the road when safe to do so (daytime MOT). I'll be using this thread to keep those interested in the resurrection, informed of the progress I'm making.

    Here are the pics just after the crash:

    Damage wise, there was quite a bit;

    Instruments
    Fairings
    Headlights
    Exhaust
    Immobiliser
    Screen
    Swingarm
    Pulsing cover
    Bottom yoke
    Front brake lever
    Rear brake lever + footrest hanger

    At the moment, John at Orrell Park Motorcycles has got the bike and he has repaired the imobiliser and fitted a new pulsing cover. The bike now starts and runs fine.

    Just want to extend my appreciation to John and also to the people off here who have been kind enough to donate money to me to help with the repairs. Thank you very much guys, it will not go unnoticed.

    As I progress more, I'll post the details/pics up :)

    Picked up a new swingarm. It's been removed from a 2009 Kawasaki ZX-10R. Pics:

    It's been rubbed down to a satin finish. Gives it a factory racing look :)

    I have also ordered a replacement set of clocks which should arrive in the next day or two.
