Sorry to be an ar$e but aren't those forks really expensive? I thought you'd look to pay £50-£150 for a pair of good standards (I understand they have springs and stuff in though). I'm just waiting on someone to let me know about a donor bike and if that falls through then I'll be doing some serious shopping. |

As far as the radiator is concerned, I think theres a place at Rotherham that does them, but I don't know any details about them.

What's the best way of getting at the forks? I take it I'm going to need to raise the bike somehow? :(:confused:

Re: Bent Banana.....The SV resurrection
Have you considered it may be a lot of money to repair? I'd be inclined to get the insurance money and buy another.. or buying this one back after the pay out and stripping it for good bits and selling or doing it up?
you seem to need a new exhaust system, the downpipe is knackered and would look really crap welded rad would defo need replacing if bent it seems you need a front end £120 for a good set of forks for starters and the rest for bars, etc Engine gasket set £80 at least for a full one ebay for a wheel £60 at least, dunno off top of head |
Re: Bent Banana.....The SV resurrection
insurance money? ha! Wassat?
I bought the bike for £**** with 7k on the clock to be honest. I think it's worth repairing. What do you guys think? |
Re: Bent Banana.....The SV resurrection
If u have a beam in the garage a bit of rope around the yokes and that will do the trick or get a lend of an under yolk stand or try something on the front cyclinder like maby an axle stand or something etc...
