heya people i got a new bike a few days Ago , been wanting one of these for ages and i picked it up pretty cheap it needs abit of work its pretty clean and only 13000 miles , now im after some parts so if anyones knows a breaker please let me know . im after the rear fairing cause i got a split in the plastic inbetween the front and rear seat

also the bike has been firedamaged at some point , all the electrics have been replaced but the plastic still are old and burnt ,, its the battery holder , to the rear seat . i duno what the part is called so il post pics up any help would be apreciated

sorry about the battery pics sum reason its posted up the same pic over and over

watch out for any burnt plastic electrical components as the residue can be cancer inducing very bad stuff

Runs home to check that his bike is still there...

I assume the fire was caused by the GHDs the previous owner kept in the pillion seat...

lol its not your old bike is it? erm well the guy siad it had been vanalised . somthing thrown over it , it was never recorded (HPI clear) and had new loom cdi unit etc etc but they never replaced the battery tray

thinking about it i should beleive anything he told me considering i rode the bike with slightly binding breaks , just failed MOT on them so he told me he would sort them .... so after its Moted i get a phone call saying the bikes ready and i go pick it up .. i get 5 iles down the road and somthing pulls out in front of me , i go to use the break and nothing , not a thing . im theres thinking wtf ,

anyway i get home and strip the fron breaks down and THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

you might not see it very well but they are chockablock with copper grease .. matey who i got it off basicly pulled pads out and chucked grease on em so that the brake testing machine wouldnt record the drag and there for passed . its ok now tho

after put the new pads in and cleaned everything i toiok her for a spin and BRAKES WORK its a miracle lol so i took her back and gave her a good clean .
