Update 3 - the bike

Submitted by PaulWay on Wed, 07/07/2010 - 22:14

I've now got a donor bike and work can really start!

It's a Yamaha FZR 600 "Fazer" in black.  Thanks to a previous unspecified adventure it has a bit of damage to the left hand side, including dents in the fuel tank, a bit of the engine casing missing exposing the starter motor, and the windscreen and fairing pushed back.  Most of this I can repair; and I was looking for a bike with a damaged motor as being more suitable - I didn't really want to take a running bike off the road.
