omitted to say the bores are 55mm or less rough finish so need boring and honing - guess its obvious but worth stating

^^^^ good advice from willdrip i bought my fzr rear panel decals from brooky (vinylmarksigns) and 3 years later, their still stuck like shit to a blanket, with no fade and weren't lacquered over, i expect if you lacquered em, they'll last pretty much as long as the bike,
bit of a bugger to get hold of, but a pm through the site or message through the link below should do the trick

Mang, Just went back to your original post;date was April 1st;certainly no joking matter here !

The first line ; "Sorry guys this is going to be a bit of an essay."
Well that was an understatement.

Then a bike crash.

Have you upset your local occult fraternity ?

Never mind -you have persevered when others would have thrown the towel in long ago.
Surely things must come together on this project now.

Well done that man.

have had a response from Mark, he needs more detail which i will sort out if i ever finish work this evening.

Essay hmmmm! Never meant it to be like this but I am so bloody pedantic I irritate myself. I just like things to be right where bikes are concerned. Anyway you guys can judge if it was worth the shit if I ever finish.

I believe that in a past life I paid no attention to detail and this life is my payback.

The accident was a wake up call to remind me the elasticity in my body is no longer there and I should slow down.

Interestingly I was doing a quick errand on the bike and consider going out in jeans, trainers and a pit jacket. So I reckon the gods were with me when i changed my mind at the last minute and put proper bike gear on. The eventual body to tarmac contact speed was low but no cuts or road rash - lesson is that proper bike gear is expensive for a good reason and back protectors do work (a rib protector is my next purchase)!

I am not chasing the record for views or posts on this forum. I am not bright and I need lots of help! thank you to all that have helped - it does not end here.

If your'e going to do a job ;do it properly or leave it to others
Sterling work has been performed here.
I think you perhaps underestimate your skills.
The posts will educate and help out many others.

Will there be others if they read this thread?

I think you've been really unfortunate with this engine though. Most people would have put a 600 in there and not gone this far, although it's an SP so it's a little bit special, or spesh as they say in Stroud

has anyone got original 3TJ2 Graphics on their bike they can send me a picture of?

The EXUP and FZR SP are the ones i need.

Held up by decals at the moment and summer is slipping away. Saw some strange stuff this morning , apparently its called rain.
