the bike is a standard 1993 yzf750, ive had the frame, swinger+ wheels powder coated in satin black.the tail is an early r6 race unit its only sat on at the mo tho, ive also got a r1 unit for it but it makes the bike look too long i think so im gonna use the r6 just need to sort sum mounting brackets. the fairing is a r6 race fairing ive chopped + matted to my plastic standard fairing.ive also got a 95 yzf750 so im takeing the adjustable forks+ shocker off the road bike to swap with the standard on the track 1, i think the can is a micron, i have a d+d can too but its a bit scuffed.just keeping my eye out for a gear indicator+ a steering damper then il be takeing her for a tune up+ dyno i think.
i live in marsh in hudds owdamer.

Marsh? dont know there? is that marsden? You know anywhere local with a dyno? Theres nowhere round here that I know of. Holeshot were in Bradford but i think they've gone to ireland. Might be wrong there tho.

Just had a look through my pm's and I had a message from him as I had asked about his suspension. I've posted the reply below. This is from december 05 so the prices may have gone up a bit.
Hi,
reguarding suspension, I gave it to Nick, after a discussion of what
was needed, I left it with him, he can rebuild / replace to whatever level
you specify.....
Price wise, I think they are very good, I think it is about £200 for a
new bushes, seals, oil, revalve to your weight / style, rear is approx
£100 depending on parts reguired.
Anodising, approx £75, nitriding I think is about £135, although that
may be miles out.....
My rear shock is a YA 4201, a gen. ohlins shock for the YZF 750, according
to Nick's ohlins spec sheet.
Hope that answers your questions, just give Kais a ring, ask for Nick,
mention Derek from Oldham, see what he says,
I have had nothing but good honest advice, service from them.
yours Slip.
NB I am just a very happy customer of theirs.
