Re: Hands up, who's thought about selling their bike lately?
cheers dave, I can see clearly now the rain has gone. It's gonna be a bright and icey day
 Yes YC I know, I keep looking at the gsxr shock on my shelf in the garage and then I start feeling guilty... You know what I'm like with keeping it clean though - slimy road salt! What teh feck!

Re: Hands up, who's thought about selling their bike lately?
I should hope so, if they're gonna be sat there for more than another year then I think I'll put them up the loft.

Re: Hands up, who's thought about selling their bike lately?
If you not riding the bike have you considered making a start on the suspension?

Re: Hands up, who's thought about selling their bike lately?
However upgrading to a cheaper curvy makes sense.

Re: Hands up, who's thought about selling their bike lately?
Use my bike every day but looking forward to a couple of weeks off over christmas (only so I've got enough time to do some spanner work to the bike though).
Incidentally are you building the kit car using a book written by Mr Champion (forgotten his first name). If you are then be prepared for lots of his measurements and dimensions to contradict themselves. A friend of mine did this, I helped with the initial jig work with the chassis (be careful its easy to warp it whilst welding) and he was forever phoning me saying it tells him one thing on one page and another on the next. My friend also sent Mr Champion a couple of hundred quid for a bonnet that he never recieved.
