Chap dropped the bike round last night so have spent a bit of time seeing what I've bought.
Quickly tried cleaning the "stainless" downpipes but there appears to be a good deal of corrosion. Also one of the flanges which hold the downpipes to the engine is cracked, but it's not blowing. Overtightened I guess.
Viper end can sounds nice though.
The guy fitted a £300 Hagon Monoshock, and then didn't spend an hour setting it up The last MOT even advises it's too soft and saggy. Job for the weekend.
Engine has been out at some time and put back by somebody who has no idea how Fazer cables and looms run. Easily sorted.
Braided hoses, wavy rear disc, double bubble. Will make a nice bike. Unless I just polish it and flog it!!
