i know a mechanic in eketahuna with a rather good reputation and he's a bloody clever bugger. what i'm rambling about is, the bike shop in pahiatua told me that my beloved is beyond repair and they cant straighten the subframe or remove the creases from the exhaust or blah blah. so i had a chat to this dude in eketahuna about my bent darling and he said "well, bring her in and i'll have a look and see what i can do". so i tootle home and me and my brother load the honda onto the old mans ute and take the bike to said mechanic. he looked at it, and said "thats a peice of piss!" and said hed straighten the subframe, fix the exhaust and straighten the bent fork leg all within my $560 budget! i'm fucken stoked;) and i just fitted some ultra sexy new headlights to her. i'll load up a piccy soon

XB12S Lightning. Looks pretty cool DL.
I think the actually Buell part is way cheaper. Did you enquire DL? I may do this kinda mod to a Hornet if I get one.

Good work mate. I would have the damage re-checked by a few others. How reputable is this mechanic and does he just want a quick buck for banging a hammer on the subframe and using a vice to straiten the fork leg?

Congrats on getting somewhere with the bike.

You know, now I see those headlights, I'm wondering how it would look with some nice Renthal MX bars and an upswept tail on it...

Hey if this guy's good and he wants the little extra business, - put his name up here.

Might be a fun ride from Welly or Palmy to see him - spend some time chasing sheep while he does his thing and head home again...

this mechanic is a trusted freind of mine but i will get the damage assessed by someone else, although another bike shop said they couldnt do it cos it'd be too hard and expensive so my old man told them to get nicked.....

mx bars? fuck off! Lol im mounting the clipons on the forks under the top clamp when i get the bike back:headbang:

upswept tail? meh i might get an rs250 tail os something and raise the rear but i'm not poofterrising it:laugh: :Pokey:

I think what Riffer was trying to say was it'd look good as an Mission Impossible Trumpy look alike. You could put on some dark glasses and do some Tom Cruise impersonations - just learn how to do spinning stoppies and fire an MP-5 at the same time.....
