My ET is a 750 frame with an 1100 motor and the frame was shortened by the previous owner,not as much as some though,which are shortened so much that there's no gap between the rear light unit and the side panels which I think looks good

Cheers yoshi

Fair play mate not knocking you for trying we're all a bit tight thats all

Gotta love a blunderbuss

Theres plenty of folk out there that can use the original seat and make it a bit more pleasing for probably less money, including new foam/reshaping and recovering. P & K do a good job but they're not the cheapest,I bet there's a few folk on here that know someone that they could recommend for a wee bit less money,I could be wrong though just my opinion

ouch...thats pricey

The admins are poised and ready to delete those pics....

No track time for me this year due to an old wrist injury....ref book of excuses, but will pop over for a spectate 1 of the 2 days

Welcome

What no intro before all the questions start ....how rude oh and welcome

Found some copy GSXR indicators in the shed that I must have bought for another project more than 5 years ago while i was having a tidy up..bonus will fit them to replace the self destructing ones that are on at the moment, job for Saturday me thinks, will stick some pics on to prove its done

Almost collected all the parts I think I need ready for the rebuild.....cleaned the fuel tap in the my fizzy bath and fitted a repair kit to stop the annoying leak, won't be able to see if this has worked until the tank is back on after some derusting/cleaning. Waiting for a price for a new rear shock(Nitron) and some Samco hoses from @gsxr884 aka Rich at CP Racetech then will bite the bullet otherwise this RGV will never get rebuilt. Over the next couple of weekends the plan is to replace the headstock bearings and rebuild the front end with my new callipers and hoses, then get it back on its wheels for the first time in over a year or is it longer...I can't remember. Collecting together the few parts I need powder coating and will get these sorted some time in July once I've been paid again....,will take a few pics at the weekend to liven things up

MOT due next week so fitted the huge number plate for the couple of hours per year its on the bike and removed the headlight cover. Checked everything was in working order, all good and ready for the test.

Deffo a better deal with some race cred to boot

Looks like an L model with a few special bits you've even got a solo seat now I'm a bit jealous will keep my eyes on progress and hopefully get my project back on track this was how mine looked a few years ago before I began dismantling it

Rare as hens teeth, great to see it back up and running theres one for sale on eblag in the uk for nearly £9,000...ouch. You've just inspired me to get my finger out and get my VJ21 put back together

Thanks for the ET spares and good to catch up for a natter this morning @Paulm hope the trip to FBM goes to plan

Done it on a slabbie years ago worked ok used a bit of wd40 to ease the plastic and rubber parts off and out of the frame

Welcome to the non pisstaking OSS world....

Too true

These cheap shit indicators have self destructed again this time the front,time to bite the bullet and get some better non Chinese ones....any suggestions as to a decent set/make that anyone on here can recommend? Must have dropped off after some chump on a Trumpet street fighter decided to traffic light Grand Prix me yesterday they were well pissed off when the old girl stomped them up to 3 figures..she's still got some go even at 36 years young...this was all done away from the queens highway your honour

Just checked it's still for sale no surprise at nearly 33 grand......

Seen this on the bay nice but too pricey for most normal folk

I've got 20 shillings waiting for you when you're ready to sell
