 |
|
I've had my TDR for over a year now and depressingly like most of my bikes I haven't had many opportunities to ride the damn thing, so when we (me, StrokerBoy and BobbyBoy) all shot off to Paul Wilshaw's 2-Stoke Sunday loaded up with Gags, I threw the TDR in the van too along with a for sale sign.
Being the first one to arrive at Paul's pub I pulled the bikes out and hid the van, and although I stuck the for sale notice on the TDR, I immediately started having second thoughts and by lunchtime had decided to keep it! 
The bike has had a complete rebuild by the previous owner and features;
- Powder coated frame
- TZR250 2MA swingarm and raised rear end
- Updated front end with FZR bottoms and TDR internals
- TZR250 3XV front wheel 17x 3.0
- TZR250 2XT rear wheel 17x 3.5
- TZR250 3XV Twin discs with R1 Blue Spot calipers
- Renthal bars
- DEP polished end cans
- Braided hoses and LED indicators
- Pirelli Evo tyres
- Completely resprayed 'very black'
All I need now are some decent pipes, so please let me know if you have any!!

Very tasteful.  If that were mine, I'd be tempted to just fill that ding in the pipe with chemical metal and give it a whizz over with BBQ paint. Not the perfect fix of course, but quick and easy until you sort it properly or get new pipes. |

Hi Tim,
Yep - been looking for a replacement, but it would be easier to find rocking horse poo! I've missed a couple of exhausts on Evilbay so your suggestion may be the way to go to tidy up that little eyesore - until a pipe miraculously appears!
If anyone has a RH pipe they don't want please let me know!!

Cheers James - TBH I wasn't sure before I put them on, but now I have I think it looks ace too!
PS: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone ... hope you all have a good one! Catch up with some of you in 2010
