With the swing arm off, you need to take the exhaust and the rear shock off anyway, there ain't much left on the bike to take off then.

Nooo, just the engine the loom, the radiator, all the electrics, the rear subrafame, every nut and bolt, the triple clamp forks, all the bearings out, degrease the frame then having to rethread all the bolt holes etc etc. Na, mate not a lot

There is a place up norf that quotes £65 for frame and arm. Triple S or something like that they are called.

Better off going for a polished frame as you dont have to remove the bearings, and rethread holes etc. By the time you have finished, you really have to aks yourself, is it worth it. Powecer coating looks a bit wierd on a frame.

Looks like I may not be there now, as my new toy is already back at the dealers!

It's spewing coolant fluid out of the breather pipes and they have it for a while to sort it... I can't imagine it'll be back by Wednesday but I'll keep my fingers crossed!They have loaned me a nackered out Bandit 1200 but it's really uncomfortable to ride due to having upright bars and these hurting my wrists (clipons don't for some reason!! ).

I suppose I might make it in the van but I dunno if I'll have the heart.

The swing arm with the ends of the swing are and the tension arm come in @ £30.00. From a guy @ sidcup motorcycles called Marc.
Nice guy, good service, even drilled and fitted a new bleed nipple and chucked in a set of rear pads for free.
Now he is trying to convince me to get the frame powdercoated.

Hee hee, you said nipple
