    How much!!! Jeepers! Hadn't realised they'd got to that sort of value.

    They don't tend to be that much on ebay but having looked today
    there's only one and that's with a BIN of 4500

  3. Taking a close look at thepics that's not 4.5k of Turbo, somebody trying
    it on there, would expect more like 2.5-3k.

    Over the last 3 years I think maybe one has sold for 4k and that was an
    absolute minter.

    750turbo.com is the place for up to date prices, no doubt they'll be
    having a cackle at that one up on ebay.


    Incidentally do you still want the spares? We're moving this year and I
    don't much fancy taking them with us.

  7. I've already skipped the wheel I'm afraid, but you're welcome to the
    brake bits, I'll hang onto those but I'll probably end up binning the
    screen, which to be honest isn't in good condition anyway.

  8. The pipes and associated bracketry that runs from the anti-dive to the
    front brake calipers (in fetching shade of gold), <checks garage> and a
    pair of spare mirrors.

    I put a new Skidmarx screen on mine before I sold it, dammit!

  9. Sure, I'll hang on to them. We'll have to do lunch in Warwick again when
    you're back at work.

    The mirrors aren't Turbo style, they're GPZ750 mirrors, but they are
    matching pair I think, like this:

  12. *thinks*

    OK these are the ones I'm on about - ebay item: 160203445334

    The Turbo ones give a bit more of a view but IMO are fucking ugly - ebay
    item: 260235720229


    Champ - you may be right about them being the same as the GPZ 750, I may
    have mis-remembered the model when I was ordering from MPS. GPZ900"A"
    might have been the one.

    ITYM Men know your limits. twasnt me that broke it.

    I might drag it out of the garage today and fix the sticking brake
    light and the fact the rear end is only held on by one bolt.

    looked at the MOT yesterday to find it ran out in April.

    Oops.

    Guess I could take some pictures too.

    Oh sorry, I thought this was one of the abortive efforts you mentioned
    t'other week. Was that just scratching the panels then?
    One should be plenty, as long as it's big and tight enough.
    Oops indeed. But you've not been riding it, have you?

    minor cracks. I almost dropped it on the drive putting it on the
    centre stand, luckily I'd left the side stand down and it landed
    heavily on that (and I landed on the floor!).
    it was actually missing two nuts and held on at one side only. fixed
    now. have also replaced a broken brake light bulb.

    I know my place...I'm leaving the blowing exhaust to himself.
    apart from one thrash to flitwick to pick the 9R up.

    I imagine plod would think that one thrash too many though.

    it was meant to be on the centre stand. I have the bruises to explain
    why it isn't.
    I have a rack too but someone forgot to fit it. I'm more likely to
    have luggage than a pillion.
