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

Allspeeds Posted Friday at 11:07 AM Author Posted Friday at 11:07 AM 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 Friday at 12:53 PM Posted Friday at 12:53 PM Yikes, there's some "History" under that paint. Quote

Allspeeds Posted Friday at 05:32 PM Author Posted Friday at 05:32 PM To clarify I haven’t cut it it was held in with resin then smoothed over with filler Quote
