YES!!!! Hoping to get loads booked :) Sharing the use of your trailer would be great, would obviously split costs and stuff :D
Planning on getting some bodywork sorted this month if possible, if not get it running again :)

What's your plan for this one mate? Keeping it as it is or a few nice mods to it?

Started playing with a few bits today, so figured out whats going on. The bike does have all OEM panels, but at some point it was struck from behind, breaking the tail unit, this was repaired I assume with a woven mat race panel as the curves are spot on, but half of the left panel is a pattern attached to the OEM one. They were fibreglassed and riveted together, I have already saved the joiner piece and may yet save the right hand side, but the left is scrap (unless anyone needs to cut the back off to repair another panel?)
The subframe is undecided, the rear loop is bent, but the main frame is square, so may bend back, but the undertray has been destroyed and a new bracket for the numberplate has been welded on, again I may be able to work some magic and save it.
The exhaust appears to be a mismatch of Ethos half system pipes up with a full system Y pipe :/ it ideally needs changing as its a little loose, but will do for now, might get GF link pipes and have shotgun pipes.
Aside from that nothing really out of the ordinary :)
