I'd be interested in the tank if its not buggered. Can collect.

Cheers

(Told you to break it weeks ago :lol )

hi frosties......its taken a bit of a battering,not leaking though Big Grin

I believe we call that buggered. However: If it ain't leaking, it might be repairable!

This vid may be of use: 4 ways to pop a dent from a motorcycle gas tank

Frosties, if you're still interested, it's yours for £15.

Thanks but as its worse than mine I'll pass this time. Will wait for your next one :lol

They were given a good clean when I had new pads fitted! I can't remember an overhaul, but don't know if they need them. Pads still have maybe a quarter of the original friction material on?

Their condition may be dubious due to the way to forks were mutilated by the Mitsubishi. I'll have to let Red98 get back to you on those.

No rush, i dont actually need any but could be handy having a spare set to recon, if they are cheap enough & nobody else proper needs them then i could be interested.

Cheers

How much are you after for the carburettors?

Probably not much more than £60 - but I'd like to keep them nearish the bike until the engine sells to prove the engine is in good working order. Be advised they have a 33bhp restrictor in, and may need a bit of fettling to get them back up to par (balancing at the very least).

Red98 is probably a better man to talk to on that front!
[/quote]Any idea if it's possible to remove the restrictors without buggering up the seals?

I'll take them but not in any rush, so whenever the engine has gone.
[/quote]

Yes, I've done it myself (for all of 3 days). I mean, the buggers went in!! :lol

You just take the caps off the carbs, pull out spings, the diaphrams and needle bodies, put the stock springs and stock needles in place, then reassemble minus the plates. Simples! 8)

Re: Breaking FZS600 for spares - noggythenog - 15-09-13

Thanks Paul, i know you know what youre looking at.
Calipers are something i havent touched yet so it would be interesting to learn a bit about them from all the threads on foc-u & have a set to play with since im now too old for Lego, if they need allot of work i might be outta my depth so hopefully the impact didnt trash them.

Re: Breaking FZS600 for spares - Gingernutz - 15-09-13

Hi mate, do you have the rear shock? How much you want for it if you do?

Hello!

I do indeed - stock, but in good condition. Still works, without Captain Kangaroo'ing me down the road! :lol

Does £50 sound reasonable?

Hey Paul, it's me, you know, from "Buxom Babes" forum?! How can you have forgotten Dolly? I thought I'd never seen Ms Parton in a sheepskin coat before!

Noggy, they're the things you're supposed to use to stop - you know, before you crash?

I could be interested in the tyres. What sizes (hoping for stock) and price for both? Having read about about the dented rims, I'll be happy to take than as is and remove the tyres myself.

And NO, I don't want tow bar! : D

i`ll have a look tomorrow for size,christo will give you a price Wink

..........are you sure you dont want to buy a towbar [size=78%]?...be quick i`ve got lots of people interested[/size]

Any word on the front tyre condition yet? And headlight reflectors?

Re: Breaking FZS600 for spares - noggythenog - 15-09-13

He He Nick, that's the trouble, they're damn fine brakes...fine enough to lock up under panic stations, i wish i'd just hit the 4x4 but then again my forks woulda been bent then.(p.s sorry to all the Honda CRV owners who have had stares of death since :2guns )
the new me is coming soon, complete with knowledge about falling off & how much it hurts! Smile

Re: Breaking FZS600 for spares - Gingernutz - 15-09-13

£50 is a fair price but a frying scotsman has offered to lend me a shock for a few weeks so I'm sorted now thanks. Sorry to mess you about
