    Yet another newbie

    Hi all
    Been lurking for a while now so thought an intro was in order.
    Currently have a FZ1 (slightly modifiedand soon to be up for sale), and just bought a 02 R1 to strip and fighter. First bike I’ve stripped and being slightly non mechanical, it should be interesting journey!!!
    I’ve included a few photos of the work so far. A few bits are getting plastic welded at the moment, have to get a new dash frame made, and get around to ordering come fat bars, lights etc. Hoping to get the bike back on the road in a couple of weeks depending on spares and so forth.
    Top site this - loads of great ideas and bikes.

    Welcome aboard Jon. Plastic welding means you are putting plastic back on? Which bits mate? I'm guessing just tail and guard yea?

    Cheers guys …. Gix, just putting the tail and guard back on with perhaps the hugger – not sure on that one but bit worried about all the shit thrown up from the rear wheel.
    Just finished getting the radiator off and that’s off tomorrow to get a new core as there were gapping holes in it.
    Will get around to picking up a few bits and pieces from AuSFR in the next couple of days as well – look to have some good gear there.
