Hi Exuptoy i paid £75 plus VAT for the wheel and a the discs to be checked also the return postage was included, I had it back within a day. As for the refurb i purchased some 2 Pack paint from a local paint dealer £22 and sprayed them myself i was a bit worried about them as i have never sprayed wheels before and this was my third time spraying all together buy they came out really well the biggest nightmare was the prep my arm still aches now haha
Never really thought about starting a rebuild thread i have took loads of pictures so far so i will up load them letting you know what i have done so far. weather is starting to get nice now so i am itching to get her done
Thanks Steves i was a bit worried about getting the tyres put back on, I was debating leaving them for a few days to cure a bit more but i am to impatient and had the tyres put on last night they went on fine with no marks so happy days
Right i will start from the top and post some pics of the bike when i received it, i bought the bike blind without seeing it so was in 2 minds to keep it for myself but if it was too bad break it for parts, I thought i was buying a CAT C Wright off bike but later when i sent off for the V5 the DVLA notified me there is no Wright off marker on the bike and i had to pay the £25 fee for a new V5 i also done a online HPI check that also confirmed this so i was over the moon. First pics of original Damage When she arrived I took the fairings off to see if the bottom yolk had took the impact or if the frame needed fixing if the frame had took the impact i was going to break the bike but lucky enough the bottom yolk took the impact Got the forks out and layed them on the floor the right one wasn't too bad but the left was like a boomerang shortly after i took the photo i spent the next 20 mins wiping up fork oil i Managed to get a full front end from ebay all the way from El paso Texas in black hence why i ended up doing my wheels black shes starting to look like a bike now And finally i got the wheels back on last night Just got to wait now for my new head light radiator and fairings to come now, its my birthday on the 25th July so that's my aim to have her done by. As soon as i get the bits i will upload more photos
Just a little update, spent a few hours on her today fitting some new rim tape and fixing the gauge in the frame. Just waiting for new parts to arrive now The damage to the frame before it was repaired Repaired Just got to try and match the paint now hopefully should have the ECU back by the end of the week so i can start her for the first time
