Re: Project Phoenix

Nope, got UK clocks now, so willing to trade the Euro clocks + cash for the hugger, or just sell you the clocks as still not sure that I want the extra unsprung weight of a hugger!

Ah, got ya ;)

Decide if you want the hugger and we will talk again ;)

Re: Project Phoenix

Not super keen on the hugger, so you're best of selling that to someone prepared to pay for it.

So clocks are on offer, what track days are you off to in Aug in the midlands/north (cadwell, the rock, mallory, silverstone, donny etc), could give you them there for a cheap price and helps me decide on a track day!

Without being rude, KMH clocks in the UK must be pretty worthless to sell ... I'd not pay more than a fiver for them ... and then I still have the hassle of selling my MPH clocks to re-coup, let alone start to make some cash ... I doubt you could be bothered for a fiver either ;)

Re: Project Phoenix

There's another frame on Ebay for £50.
The one with the engine and other bits sounds better though.

Ta :) But one has to ask what makes it a 'race frame' sounds a bit dodgy ;)

Anyhoo ... progress with Phoenix ... I picked it up today ... bit of a nightmare as the front wheel was so badly fecked the bike couldn't be pushed along as it rubbed on BOT - yes BOTH of the fork lowers where it was so badly buckled ... which meant it was hard to get in the van ... some attempts at taking spacers out etc were to no avail .. so we basically man-handled it in!! :D

The strip down has commenced ... well to be honest is already complete, I did it in the van on the way home!!! ... well it was better/ and more productive than sitting in Friday home time madness traffic!! :D

So now the hunt for parts really begins ...

So who was it that wanted the hugger?? also does anyone want the lowers??? I was hoping moneys raised by selling them would be enough for a set of forks (or a bargain pair of forks AND yokes 8))...

Got some pics ... but can't attach pics as a feature of the forum any more it seems :cry:

Re: Project Phoenix

i have a frame in high wycombe if thats any good for you. as for price make me an offer. Its from a 99 bike and is in good condition, it has no dents scrapes scratches etc. It currently has the swingarm and rear shock still attached but i was going to take them out tonight or tommorow depending on when i finish work this afternoon. Also got a whole bunch of other stuff which i really need to take photos off and put on here.

The only thing i need to do is to get the bottom yoke off because ive promised that to someone but i still have the top yoke. you have a pm with my phone number so give me a call if you want to discuss anything.

cheers mate

Thanks for the offer and I'll reply to your PM! :)

Re: Project Phoenix
