    Seeing as no-one wants to pay what the zxr is worth i have decided to make it a "forever bike"
    Keep it, keep it looking as stock as I can but fit uprated parts.

    Ordered a NTR Race Shock 3-Way from Nitron today, hopefully it will be here before the 11th :D
    The zx6r shock i have on there at the moment just isnt working out for me. Cant seem to get is set right.
    Then I'll get a spare set of forks and drop them off at Maxton for a re-build and re-valve.
    When they are done ill swap out my existing forks.
    Once thats sorted I'm gonna grab an engine and throw it @ Pete with a note saying "Sort It, Cheers"
    When thats done ill swap it out.
    Dyno setup time :D
    Get a set of wheels, get them painted, swap them out.
    I'll pull the stock fairings off and store them in the loft and get some replacements from China.

    I know it is going to cost more buying spares but I need to use the bike everyday.

    I am going to be a complete tw*t until this arrives.

    Bloody shocktube still hasnt turned up.... I will be making an semi-arsey phonecall today.....

    Swiss picked up a buggered engine (£120) for me on tuesday and dropped it off at OTC where Nik stripped it.
    Barrels are fucked as water got in, one of the cam shaft guides has a nasty score in it and 3 of the 16 valves are fuxord.
    Bottom end is spot on though.

    I was bidding on >> This lot of kit but didnt get it. I'm a bit pissed off as the .5 oversized pistons plus matching barrels, ported head and lightened crank would have sorted this engine right out.

    There are a a couple of things on ebay that I'm watching and have asked a few q's about.
    Let's see what happens.

    I would have bid more on that lot. An engine built to that spec would be worth 800 plus

    If i have the funds available i would have.

    Ah well, looking for a decent head and some decent barrels with pistons.

    Bought a couple of rear fairings from fleabay.
    They are in decent condition with only a couple of light scratches and in need of a respray.

    Where's decent in the liverpool-ish area?

    Cheers
