lucan ive got some and they are bloody good, thought the soles would wear but they have been great, even stood up to torential rain one time!

your ok to have the baseball bat in your car, as long as you have the ball and mitt to go with it

PHOTOS! did you struggle with any bits gaz? looking great so far, ive used central wheel before and they are very good, add a week or so to the delivery time and you wont be dissapointed. looks like very little rust on the stuff you have got to keep which is good. keep em coming , good luck. Mark.

cheers gaz! still got a list of stuff i wanna do to the bandit but currently spending all my dosh on current project, yeah ill be going, hope to see you there matey!

just pond life aint they, i know of a bloke who has now spread his bike around the country as he had had that many attempts to steal it, its a crying shame it really is. hope he gets it back.

bandit shock was brand new but still felt saggy in the corners, now the busa shock is set up its excellent, nice and firm but still has the right amount of give, best thing i did to the bike !

to be honest i dont know, im using a haybusa rear shock with custom dog bones 178mm hole to hole and using the bottom frame mount lol.

cheers lucan, some more pics here /t2653-pug-s-bike

ill have it matt! ill even give you some money for it got a pic? ta Mark.

i go here matey http://www.yell.com/b/Unique+Paint+and+Powder-Powder+Coating-Northampton-NN57AX-4750890/index.html im sure there are better places, nice place over corby but they are cheap and i think he does a good job, you kinda have to think for them though. one off fabricators i use http://custombilletparts.com/ but for exhaust stuff i think you might have to keep looking matey

there is one on evil bay but a bit outta my price range, really nice though http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1978-YAMAHA-SR500-/230655251431?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item35b41fd3e7#ht_764wt_1139

wheres smilin jack when you need him!

already got a kz750 1982 as the cafe project

right want to buy something else to do after i finish the kawasaki cafe racer project, choice is limited to budget as i tend to throw alot of money at rebuilding them but dont want to pay alot for them. max budget is around £500 im torn between a honda cx500 something like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1983-HONDA-CX500CB-RED-/300586392866?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item45fc585d22#ht_500wt_1156 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980-HONDA-CX500-BLACK-CBR-number-plate-/200637846088?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2eb6f29248#ht_500wt_1156 and a yamaha xs500 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1983-HONDA-CX500CB-RED-/300586392866?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item45fc585d22#ht_500wt_1156 im kind of swaying towards the xs as its chain drive not shaft. and am very much being persuaded into it by this website http://www.wrenchmonkees.com/bikes.html i dont have any idea which bike is better or which have more faults so some of you (*ahem*) older gentlemen might know? oh if you can think of any that you think i may like by all means post them up as these are the only 2 that have "caught my eye" so to speak. Thanks for your help mark.

so got the swingarm back today from the coaters, just need to sort out a clamp or 2. oh and some new bearings lol.

so i dropped my stand off plus some other bits for the kawasaki project off to the powder coaters before i went on holiday picked them up this morning. stand is excellent, sits much more upright and matches the colour of the frame too.
