Good man...finally the bike is saved from a fate worse than bad taste.

Let me know how much you want for the lowrider when it's done

851 thingy

Well done mate!

You can see beneath that bodywork lies a perfectly good 851.

£1800! - Bargain!!

P.S. ebay the 916 bits - you'll get a fair amount of dosh back.

Cheers

Fred

Mods or not, that's a steal.

Good luck with it, MB. Where are you based? Fancy bringing it to Popham on the 20th Aug?

Rgds, Rob

Everything is now off the bike regarding the 916 parts. Have to say the work carried out was of a very high standard - the person who did the mod must have a paid mint.

Only 2 problems so far

1) I have a DS sub frame but have single seat & parts. May have to do a few mod for the parts to fit. May try to find a Single seat sub frame (yea like that will happen)

2) I have a missing is the FuseBox Reply/Electrical plate and I believe that the rear light bolts too?

Oh and the biggest surprise was a original workshop manual & Owner's manual....

Cheers Rob for the offer but I'm based in Ruislip.

Single seat frames for 851s appear on ebay more often than you'd think. Keep your eyes peeled or register your search and get it mailed to you each day.

Just a thought, but if you are thinking of fitting a set of high level exhausts you might be better off trying to fit the single seat to the existing subframe.

On the 851 single seat subframe the exhaust hangars are very low down, so you have to cut them off and try to weld ( or bodge ) some brackets on to take a high level exhaust. The dual seat subframe already has brackets in place. It might be worth seeing if you can get the single seat to fit ( without resorting to cutting or drilling it of course ) before buying another subframe.

Best of luck!
