A load of crap and rock hard wires that you rummage through, decide it's all unusable shite, then put it all back in the box and shove it under the bench "for now". A few years later you find it again, have another rummage, confirm your first thought that it's all shite, and then shove it back under the bench. At that point it becomes the "maybe" box as you think "maybe" one day you'd need something out of it. 3 Quote
Enjoythesilence Posted December 13 Posted December 13 Or like me you chuck it after the 10th look and 2 weeks later have to buy something you chucked Quote

Allspeeds Posted December 13 Author Posted December 13 This is interesting originally it had the correct Nelson style Harris filler in as I’ve seen on the pictures however now it’s has what I’d say is a GSXR filler and kneck in but obviously that’s steel? Wonder how it’s attached/ welded to the alloy of the tank? Quote
dupersunc Posted December 13 Posted December 13 Yikes, there's some "History" under that paint. Quote
