My first off/accident - Miss my bike already!

whoa...

I like your calculations there yorkie, and to be fair to you, I've just looked on ebay for some of the stuff, and your estimates seem right from what Ive seen.
well thats made me feel better...the thing is, if im gonna do this, ive gotta commit.

Gotta save up the funds, get hunting, store them. Lets say I can get 'em for £300 + £300ish labour somewhere...£600??...not too bad from £5809, or am I just gettin carried away?

ps, yeeh my left hand foot rest is gone. Most things that kinda stick out on the left side of the bike are pretty much totalled - the right seems almost untouched.

£300 labour?

I'll come down and do it for £200

really? or kidding? (you a bike wiz?)...

cos I would actually take you up on that kind of an offer, lol - once I've collected the goods of course!

[yorkie_chris]

I would be surprised if some .org-er more local would not do it for free for you, or a consideration of a couple of pints.

But if noone else will then yes I could pop down.

awesome mate...cheers...
well in that case, gonna save up, look for the parts, and then go labour hunting. will let you know

[yorkie_chris]

First things first, get the thing back from the repair centre.

I have a few of those parts too, rust free bottom yoke and spindle, possibly bearing set if I can find em, right foot hanger etc.

yeep...organised delivery for friday...then its all mine again, lol!

Thanks dave - gotta find the dough before I start my mission of finding these parts...

the forum will defo be my first port of call when looking for parts, then ebay!

[Dave20046]

Just thought anyway the yopkes might not be suitable for your 'S' as it was off a naked bike. anyhoo let us know I have not motivation to sell them so they'll probably be waiting....

Lower Yoke and Spindle £20-50
Head stock bearing set £20-30
Front Wheel £80-100 or ask hagon if they can straighten the existing one, they'll only charge if they can straighten it and it's about 60quid.
Front Wheel Bearings - should be decent on the wheel anyway.
Head Lamp £40-£120
Top Cowl Stay £50-£110 but for now £hammer
LH Mirror Unless the left mirror is snapped off then £5 for a stick on mirror glass.
Header Pipes £20 for an entire original exhaust
Header Pipes Gasket £5 each but I'd only get them if the exhaust leaks.

LHF Foot Rest
LHF Bank Sensor
LHF Foot Rest Hanger
Gear Change Pedal Bolt.

Just get a set of rearsets, I paid 70quid for a set of OSF ones like these

Prices quoted are first hand parts. So what do you think guys. Worth the effort of finding parts and getting it roadsafe, or is this just too long a list. The guy was like you can't really get 2nd hand decent forks for under £300 anyway.

********!! I sold two sets on ebay, both for around 150quid, both straight and un-rusted.
