lol it would be if it was £300 it wasnt it was 4 figures
it was from the fenlands so i guess he saw me coming
Ready when you are
.
At that price you can afford to rebuild it and still be within the value of the bike (not like the heap of 'Panther' bits I'm currently tackling
).
I'd love one in Daytona Orange . . . But then I'd love a lot of bikes (is it worth a divorce though
).
Best of luck with it and keep the pictures coming
.
Bob.
id like an orange one too but this his what came along and IF i ever do manage to get that far ill keep black
I doff my cap to you for buying that !
so did the bloke i got it from, he actually said i need to see a doctor for paying that much (it was a grand but he gave me back £50 for petrol
)
I hope you didn't pay much more than £300, cos it will be an absolute money pit
good luck with the restoration, it will be hard without shelter to do it in, pics of your progress would be good
see above
ive just filled an A4 piece of paper up with £6000 worth of parts and work
oh fuck
Mr Peeping Tom, you are clearly completely and gloriously insane. I though that the price was in pence and was still steep at 300p.
Plus Gas dismantling fluid is a much better friend than WD40.
Put an 8 x 4 sheet of plywood on the dining room table and move it into the house, much warmer and brighter than the garden in winter
If the wife says she's leaving all the better, you have more time for your project
You're going to need it.
see above
plus gas it is . wont get away with the plywood and its all looking a bit of a big project now
What Packer says :thum
WD40 is shite, Plus gas dismantling fluid is great, but for the 2 main bolts through engine, if seized use a mix of vinegar and 3in1 oil brushed on and left overnight..... can take upto a week, each bolt BUT no damage to castings
I did a post of the way I've got stubborn bastards out, years ago for Bakerlonglegs when he dismantled his... Worked fine
cheers prof ill do that , do the engine bolts fuse to the casing then?
Take loads of pictures and write lots of stuff. I love these resto/rebuild threads.
i will do but doubt much will happen for a while as ive no where to do work. my small shed (7x5
will leaks) is full of stuff and i like my para gs under the lean to porch thing.
when your refurben a Bicke everry thing gets shot blasted any way but that one doese look licke it got stuck on the beach when the tide come inn ! then put in a barn !!!
I have a set of Headers that will du for that verry cheep if your ever interested and seats come up quite a lot on german ebay so if you ever need one of them i will keep my eye aut when the time is right jeh my sumo what I have just fineshed that was a state when I bought it everry thing had been hand painted JCB yellow but you would never no that now so just get it all sandblasted the frame and log book are worth 300 quide and I am shure you can salvage moor than that from it
thanks ill contact you if i need bits thanks litelfun
that'll certainly be a challenge, but well worth it in a few years that it may take you , what with no garage etc.
no garage usually means no or very few tools?
ive got quite a few tools in the shed but its still my biggest challage to date
not sure where I'm going with it , I'm off on holiday next week so ill think about what to do with it in Eygpt
From my experience that is going to cost you more to make presentable than buying a nice one. Of course it's not all about the price though.
i can see that but it is good fun doing it. I've done a para gs before , but it was all working and fairly ok when i started, this however is a different kettle of fish .
i know most people will think £950 is a lot i still think it was a good deal (for me !!
)
see if anyone can find ANY R90S with matching numbers for under £2000.??
I've not seen one , i would think most people who want to restore one want a low cost starter bike as it will be stripped and every part cleaned, painted, cromed etc etc.
thats what i though
