Hi Jonny. Welcome to the forum. It should be picking up a bit soon, as we all start to brush the winter cobwebs off our rides.

yep, thats the one. I was the high bidder but it didnt reach its reserve, so contacted him and sorted a deal. Not much more than my high bid..(about 20 quid more )... Hoping it will be as good as it looks when i go on saturday. The front end has to go though. Will be fitting a complete thundercat one instead. Plus lots more planned... ;D

Nice one Jonny, keep it all Yamaha. If you got that lot for 300 notes I would say you've had a right bargain as long as it's a good runner. 5 speed gearbox is a strange one. I thought most people fit the Genesis 1000 barrels/pistons to the FZ bottom end?

thats what i thought... tis strange fitting the 5 speed box....will have to invetigate further when i collect it. He says the head is fzr 1000 as well...Maybe he was misinformed and its a complete 1000 motor as he didnt do the work..? All will be revealed on Saturday...
