Yah, blue spots are soo passé, dahling :grin:

Update;part 1
The numpty motorcycle delivery man neglected to check security of the bike when loading on the trailer hence the partly fixed sceen detached taking one good and one broken fairing ear with it.The plan to keep the screen,which looked good in the sales pic and to repair the fairing for spares has been aborted.Two flush fitting indicators are salvageable,rest is scrap.
He did not get paid his full amount.

Image

Damaged brake pedal;I have spares of these from the 1000R's.
Image

Close up of YZF engine.
Image

Fabricated wateripe junction (no room for this in stock location).
It is a tatty job but powdercoat may tidy it sufficiently.
Image

Rad is good but no fan fitted-probably due to lack of space,it may not be a worry as I never do town riding.
Image

Oil filter/water cooler combination.
Image

Headers are good and correct nuts and studs will replace bolts.
Image

Standard Sp 2TK front wheel.
Image

Front end wiring is tidy which makes a nice change.
Image

SP 2TK ally tank cover with the correct filler ring-only missing one special fixing screw which will be a right pain without a parts book to source.
Image

Front tank fixing,minus the rubber strap.Easy sourced,a TZ 350A part circa £5 from any Yam dealer.
Image

Original seat unit.Learnt something here.Duez fixings of the bumpad allow access to tool tray in rear subframe originally (a coin or the key can be used to turn them).On my other 2TK,Mark had to remake the seat unit as it had been butchered and the pad is fixed by bolts.I carry an Allen key to detach the complete unit to gain access.
Image

FZR 1000R rear wheel and swinger.
Image

Image

Footrests packed out from frame;clearance issues with replacement swinging arm.
Image.

Part 2
Could do with a gearchange rubber.
Image

YZF exup unit with the cover intact.Sidestand fixing is the original minus the rest of the frame rail.Both sides are missing.I intend to replace these as the engine does not appear to prevent their use.Probably previous owner attempted the street look which does not appeal.
Image

Engine mount welded to frame,as the YZF unit is.Boy is this ugly,but it is not a bad weld and the material substantial,just unshapely.Nothing much can be done except to hide it with the new fairing.
Image

Image

Old damage;was going to repair this-not now the lugs and screen are on the M25.
Image

Hydraulic clutch.Master is tidy but have a ZXR unit to match the brake master.Will use this unit to uprate one of the 1000's as the lever is span adjustable and they are not on the 1000R's.
Image

Image

Probably the untidiest bracket on it;pop rivited to frame.
Image

No speedo adaptor required
Image

2TK alloy subframe and exup servo location as original but sans tool tray.
Image

Image

Original exhaust hanger;pleasantly uncut too.These are hard to source.Kayla makes very good replacements though.
Image

The bracket that supports the rear of the tank and affixes the front of the seat is always missing.Bugger with a capital B.
Image

YZF TCI unit.
Image

Original tank;differs from later models,extra fixing for the Genesis and 2TK tank cover on each lower side.
Image

Tank and airbox.Was a good fit too.No spare space for the rad filler though,thats why its external to frame.
Image

Image

Frame alterations to fit carbs,these will be tidied up a bit I think.
Image

Image

Image

Tidy electrics.

Part 3.
Fuel pump,just chucked in anywhere it fitted.This is the last owners work !
Image

Broken filler cap;have a spare one somewhere.
Image

Rear engine mount neatly done.
Image

Attempt at an exhaust gasket.
Image

Thats what I call a jaunty angle.
Image

Fork seals shot,possibly stanchions also.
Image

2TK shock with remote.Much better than on my other one which got an R6 upgrade,Dont know what to do here.Might just try it,but its got a bit extra weight to carry and is now 26 year old.
Image

Adjustable pre-load caps.
Image

L/h switchgear from YZF,must be YZF harness fitted,other side is stock 2TK,only the pull cable;no return cable was ever fitted.
Image

Fuel filter is as big as the starter motor.
No wonder he could not get the fuel pump in neatly.
Image

Very early engine.
Image

Someone knew how to fit a split pin at least.
Image

Battery box missing completely.
Genesis unit required.
Image

Manufacturers original info decal.
Image

No spare room here.
Image

Tank mod;no room for a tap with that lump of an engine in it.No reserve then! Quick release couplings to be fitted here.
Image

Who tried to use the overflow pipe from filler neck catch tray as the overflow from the rad filler to the expansion tank then.P.O.'s! don't you just luv em.?
Image

Fuel drained was stale but free from rust.Still started first stab of button though.
Image

530 chain and sprocket shows wear.
They would go a few thousand miles further .
Image

A delve into the spares shelves produced these;
Image

They were picked up for buttons 2 years ago,came in handy eventually!

Thats it.

Hi Bill - pretty sure I've got a genesis battery box kicking around & a rear tank/forward seat mount again from a genesis,not the all hallowed 2TK,if any use to you just let me know & I'm sure we can sort something out.

Phil. :peace:
