Well, the CBR went last week and this morning I got a train to Bristol and rode this one owner 46k bike back.
Looking a bit sorry for itself. I cannot understand why people let their bikes get into a state like this. Don't think it had seen soapy water in a long time.
One quick wash later with a load of degreaser turned it into this.
Got the gear linkage off and over to my mate Darren at Fairfield Tool & Die to stick a brass bush into it to take away 46k worth of slop so I decided to clean up the footrest when it was off.
Subframe off to give it a coat of paint along with the grab rail and a few brackets.
