Default Feck, feckety feck... OR SOS SAVE OUR SV..

All my bodywork has gone missing, not mine obviously, but from my SV... It was parked up in a garage waiting to be painted and I just found out that it was all nicked months ago but my friend neglected to tell me.
So instead of having a blinging fully faired SV, I have a bike with my spare dented petrol tank and no bodywork...

I can't even run it like TSM as my SV headlight has broken mounts and to get thru MOT I used to silicone it to the nosecone, nekkid, you can plainly see the bodge.

So unless I can find some bits, I'll have to sell the parts and be bikeless.

Depressed? Oh yeah...

Got a full set of curvy S plastics, not perfect but will do the job (Front fender is for a Gixxer though) with screen and headlight you can borrow.

Can yo get to North Bolton? Or if you're not too far I can drop them round.

Is a friend or was a friend. Bad news, but if he is a friend, he would not hesitate in getting the parts replaced.

Sadly, this was a work friend, he refuses to answer his phone or return my calls on the issue. I know he hasn't reported any theft, so I dunno exactly what happened.

Crappy job and relationship kept me offline and off my bike for over a year. I've just been so stupid the last year and trusted the wrong people.
I barely have a pot to pee at the mo, but start new job soon, I hope.

Cheers for the offer mate, I only have the naked yoke, I have a front fender, tank and the LHS of the tail... If I can get a set of headlights and fabricate a bracket I could have enough to use as transport so the offer of a full set is very generous, but more than I need at the mo.

I think I was mistaken about the friend thing, turns out I'm not as good a judge of character as I thought I was.

*UPDATE* On the positive side I've found a scarred front fender, so need a headlight of some description and I can put it together enough for MOT...
I think naked is the way to go on my budget, plus I have a naked top yoke and bars already fitted.
I do need an undertray... Almost forgot that one...

Got lights and subframe for MOT and until you get the bracket/lights you need if you want to borrow that, goes without saying I have all the mounting gubbins as well.

I have most of a bike spare in the garage waiting to be parted and ebayed, so may as well lend it out before hand if it can help someone out.

Thanx Ste, the naked project is a go so I shouldn't need the loan, much appreciate the offer tho.
Found my original undertray in the shed earlier.

I find beer numbs the pain...
