I couldnt get the right red locally to me! I know john sampled a lot of colours to get the right red..........thatll do for me. I know they mask the frame number as well so thatll be ok!

Didnt take that long to strip..........and not a drop of fluid spilt other than the clutch slave.....fantastic these bikes aint they!

couldnt help notice from the picture that yours is one of the 1st 998 bastidised frames 999r,s !:frog:
Whilst its apart try to find a proper 999 frame,you know it makes sense!:D

And here's one I prepared earlier..... :lol:

rather you than me andy :sing:

amazing how the frame floats over the magic blue rug.:D i could do with a few to sell on?

ok mate...........I was going to spend a couple or three grand on the engine but then i noticed the old shagger came with 148 bhp................fancy a go on a powerful one?:puzzled:

sorry mate ,way to much for me,that,l be a real mans bike then!:frog:
butch

You want a real man then,.........ooh er!:lol::lol::lol:

Can we take it that from your first post to the final frame picture - 5 hours approx - you completely stripped the bike down to the frame or had you done much prep work before you started?
