Post by hannakournikova » Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:13 pm

Brakes seized solid, downpipes are fecked, corrosion all over, annodised parts galore!

I know that Wozza, but what i mean, is what to go for.
Its a shopping list for the bike that may happen when money allows.

I know that Rick O does VFr kits for £80 and a re-valved rs250 shock is about £150.
But i know feck all about the CBR. everyone sings the praises of GF but not many people the £££

i dont wanna spend £250 on a shock ATM, jesus the bike didn't even cost that!
