1400 rebuild

[Bob]

I have some bits but really need a tank with internals, forks, rear shocks, standard brake and clutch lines.
Has been sitting in a garage for a few years with no windows or doors, it's near the sea and very exposed, there's also a Kawa zephyr there I couldn't get on the trailer, but if I go back its mine too

I apologize now ... but holy crap!!

Vision. It's in the eye of the beholder.

[Taniwha]

Oh. Oh no. Oh dear lord! What evil cretin did this to her? You are doing the lords work. Rescuing this poor, homeless waif from the streets
Hopefully, with enough time, love, and care, she will be back to her former self. Shiny, Powerful, and Glorious.

I wish you the best of luck sir.

[KiwiCol]

Time, love and care maybe, but definitely loads if cash to throw at it. Mind you, the foot peg rubbers looked ok. That's a start.

[Tony Nitrous]

I'd soak it in WD / light oil and stick it in a corner in the hope of finding any spares I could possibly use.

I'm happy to buy crashed or damaged bikes, I'd certainly buy that one, but not with the intention of fixing it!

[Mick_J]

Wow, that's a mess.  If you seriously going to fix this up Bob keep us updated as I think it will be one hell of a restoration (and expensive).  Good luck 

[Mister Fishfinger]

Well at least the plastics are ok.

[Bob]

No they aren't seat unit has a big crack front guard is good tho

Oh dear looks like it was used as a mooring ........
One owner just 700 miles on the clock is it that one again ??

[VladTepes]

Oh dear looks like it was used as a mooring ........

or anchor.

[Sweaty]

Holy Shit. I will be the first one to come out and say this. You are F""king mad Bob  
All respect to you for giving it a go, but that is just a money/time pit to me.
Would be good to see it's transformation thought.

Great!  Right up my street that, wish I had it, my last 1400 was bad, but yours is a little bit more!!
I'm in the process of buying another shitty basket-case at the moment, & this one IS as bad!!
Enjoy the project.
