Here is a pic of the new seat i had recovered, ive also repainted the sidestand, rear indicator stalks today and fitted new indicators due to the old ones having marks on them.

Your seat guy does a terrific job there - looks better than OEM
Very very nice

Ive just stripped down the front brake calliper and it is in fantastic condition a clean up and a paint will see it done.

Going to order a new chain tonight and a number plate in the morning.

Mike says he has the headlamp fairing and all the original fitting kit

Ive just bought myself an inexpensive bike to run around on, its a GSX600F with just 2,000mls on the clock and it looks like it never left the showroom, when Mark delivered it i was gobsmacked at the condition of it and i payed next to nothing for it.

Makes a change from having £10,000 in a superbike that never gets used, going to have a custom seat made tomorrow by my mate Richard then fit a race can and some new tyres as they are the original tyres from new and they will have me on my arse faster than a fast thingie.

its a GSX600F

Underestimated bike that one, a bit like the RF900. Not popular but a bike you can ride to its limits & therefore fun.

Bombproof engine too as they are based on the gsxr750 lump but underbored to get the capacity down. Can take anything u throw at them.

Very underrated, sounds like a great buy fella

Let's see the beauty then... $\:D/$

Top-shaggy · Post by **Top-shaggy** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 9:49 pm

Proper shiny?
Looks unbelievably clean and shiny to me already !!

Just where do you find all these bikes?

I saw one like yours TR during the week only a few miles from were we live. I was in the van and he followed me for a few miles then turned off.
It was a very tidy looking AR, and was the first one I've seen for years.
