Can i put my name on the riders footrest hanger and gear lever please.

Is your bike the standard suzuki blue? if so i could do with the left side front fairing panel as well.

How does this work on getting the parts and paying for them? Im in birmingham so could get over to you in rugby without too much trouble. Can you give me a call when you pick up this post so i know you still have the parts.

cheers Tim

Hi Tim,

It's 40 quid for the whole gear assembly, as shown below, plus £8 postage.

The fairing panel has a scuff where I scraped it on the wall getting the bike out of the house. Providing yours is Candy Grand Blue it will be the right colour. Postage would be extra on top.

As for paying, online banking is the best way, if you have that facility. Paypal charges us for receiving money.

Thats spot on.

Can i go for the whole linkage, the fairing panel and your bar ends. How much for that lot plus postage? Royal mail has been rubbish recently so how much would it be recorded mail? I have online banking so just give me your details. And i'll give you an address.

Cheers

Tim

Hi Tim,

Sorry, the SS bar ends were sold yesterday, but we have one OEM one virtually unmarked with the screw which we will chuck in for free if it's any good to you?

Total would be £105 posted, unless you want to come and collect? Then it would be £90.

Edit............just seen your edit. Cut the wiring on OEM indicators to fit the mini's but think I still have the indicator, you would just need to sort the wiring.

I could come over tomorrow if your free and reasonably close to the train station? If not i'll go with the post option.

The oem bar end would be great thanks.

No problem, we could bring the stuff down to the station to make it easier. What sort of time?

No problem. I'll PM you a mobile number in case of problems. We'll bubble wrap the fairing panel, and put the other bits in a carrier bag.

Hi Tim,

Just been up into the loft, and I don't have any complete front indi's, just the rears. I do have just the lamp units though, with lens.

Any good?

How come you're breaking this? Surely just chuck on a set of good carbs and sell the whole bike as a good un?

We've had this discussion in a seperate thread. The bike even with good carbs was worth maybe £1400. Look at the S/h prices, whereas in bits it is worth , potentially, £2,200. Obviously we won't get all the money straight away, but we have already got another bike so that's not too important.

Good thinking - shame but true, good luck with it all
