Harry,
I had one of the 1st in the UK.
It had Nitrous, race can, Renthals, Jack-up, bla-bla-bla etc etc from new.
It went to work every day, rain and snow, did endless dyno run's,
raced at Avon Park, went to the pub, Sunday run's to the Coast,
got lent to anyone and everyone, toured France and generaly got
abused for 6 years and never serviced.
Sold it to move out here, was still going strong last I heard.

Even with SAMSON plates and springs the standard diaphragh clutch
ment the NOS would slip the clutch if timed wrong, and the standard
suspension soon found its limits.

but...........
I had more fun on that bike than ANY of the Busa's, B-King, GSXR, or
anything i've had since.
The number plate is still hung up in my garage now,
with the slogan "Cheap and Nasty" across the bottom of it.

In the UK every man and his dog had one, put Renthals on it,
and thought he'd got a "Streetfighter", but to me they were just
a genuine fun bike.
I wish they had new Mk1's in the shop day.

This is going to be sweet Harry. Keep it coming mate.

I reckon a Busa moteur would be a sensible addition

True, and just to make it easyier to put the motor,
front end, rear end all together, maybe a Busa frame...

Totally understand the kiddy thing Harry, my Nick is always saying "When we going out again Dad?". What ever seat you go with matey, it will I'm sure look the dogs bollocks.

Keep it coming Fella.

thanks for the comments guy's,only managed to put a rear tire on over the weekend which was a bit sad but not as sad as finding out how much a 190 rear cost's [:0]BLOODY $356 ! I SHIT BUT PAID FOR THE THING AND RELIZED THE THING WAS FLAT AS I HEADED OUT THE SHOP

ABOUT FACE AND BACK I WENT...WEN EXPLANING TO THE FITTER THAT I WAS'NT PAYING FOR A FLAT TIRE THE YOUNG FELLA SAID THERE WAS'NT A VALVE IN IT SO HE DID'NT PUMP IT UP....BLOODY HELL WHERE HAS THE INDUSTRY GONE? GOT IT PUMPED AND HEADED OUT SHAKING MY SCONE OUT THE DOOR,FITTED IT UP (SORT OF TO THE BIKE FOR A LOOK) AND SHE LOOKS GOOD. Sorry bout the caps lock...it's late

**Harry** · 11-05-2009, 12:43 AM

pulled it apart again and started to box it up for a trip to the engineer this arvo and relized that they would need the front end to get a height to fix the shock mounts....and decided not to send it by courier due to not wanting terry truck driver knocking my fork leg's around bouncing down to brisbane so a major disapointment on a sunday arvo,first set back! going to con a mate with a ute

so with luck it will get to milling machine this week to fit the swingarm and shock

that will be the hard stuff out off the way bar the sub frame....would like to go with a buell rear but i think the rear wheel would hang out to far but im going to sus it

fully agree tony,bought this bandit with 42thou on the clock and run it though to 110thou with out a hitch befor the bearing on the drive shaft collasped,thats why it sat idle for so long..went and bought a ltd edition 05(great bike)since sold due to running 42thou k's on it in a year.but the 96 is a top bike (96 to 99) where the best.to good a bike to let go so a full re-build it is

hey tony,im using a mob called NICCOM ENGINEERING i havent used them befor because iv never done this befor

but i spoke to the guy over the phone at lenght and seem's to be quite on the ball with wat he say's regarding the work he's up at loganholme,has a strong UK accent and his card read's specialised motorcycle and race car engineering,motorcycle frame,wheel & fork straighting ect ect..but you can sort of tell wen your speaking to a dick head,this bloke does not come across as such,i though some stuff at him to see if there was the dick head factor but none was detected mate
