Hi Shaun,

so when it arrives, what are the chances of getting it copied for dad's 'classic racer' project then?

Sure, I'm going to want to do it anyway Smile
I'm thinking Mr aluminium bloke (or the magician that is Martin Dust) will be able to help with this one.

Please don't hold your breath ..
Will keep you in the loop ok Smile

Hi Shaun,

sounds like an idea.

When you get it, could we arrange to try it on dad's project bike for sizes etc, so we'd get an idea of where we could then place the seating etc?

The power of the Internet never ceases to amaze me, without eBay, Facebook and wonderful sites like this I would never be able to rebuild my ARs due to the rareaty of parts.

The water mark on the first pictures is misleading by the way ... They are from a contact who used to race ARs in Thailand.. Not because I was searching porn sites (before anyone asks!! Embarassed )

Kawasaki never had a good parts support network for older models like Suzuki and Yamahahahaha.. So I have to get them from wherever I can. Japan stock is almost gone for everything except serviceable items

Sad

Good Morning Shaun,

don't suppose you've heard anything re the arrival of the tank yet? I ask as we can't commit to the frame adjustments and seat fitment until we can size up with a tank?

Hi Reggie
Please don't wait for me with this one as I can't guarantee any kind of time frame
I've chased up my contact for the period race parts and I'm waiting for a response
I will let you know what they say as soon as I know - but can't hold to a date at the minute. Sorry
