As long as there's no frame damage, I reckon you got yourself a nice little fix-er-upper there! And a good deal as well...

[ricky]

i got the hanger from ebay from a gsr srad in the end which are the same parts
i used fixer peg to fix the gear leaver.

this left to fix the rear indicator, (red tape job) :D
then needed a new battery right hand mirror and the front headlight frame

could not get the from second hand so got a new one at 135 pounds, while i was there i got the bat and mirror, mupets supplied the wrong mirror and bat, in the end they couldnt give me a mirror
