Uncharacteristically lacking in solipsism there, Jim. Could the pain of your loss be clouding your usually-sharp faculties?

It's a thought, but given the propensity of TRX headstocks to separate from frame members, and the flaking of paint around the headstock on mine, I wouldn't use anything from it except engine and wheels.
Plus I'm just a mechanical nightmare. Nothing would work right, I guarantee it.

Bugger. Bet its not cheap either for the frame.
However, Spondon make a frame for the TRX850....

Buy back the wreck and sell it for parts. You'll probably double the money to buy back if you got the time to wait for buyers or you could be lucky.
Me likes the look of that black thingy, doubt you could call it a trx :moon:

Sorry aff-man. With the exception of the frame, and the R6 fairing and tail, it's pretty much all TRX.

Bent forks eh - decent forks was all that separated the TRX from being perfect. Pick up a set of YZ750SP forks. F5Dave has a pair on his bike - perhaps he wont notice theyr'e missing :bye:

No no - the tank is definitely TRX.
Anyway 'zorts don't count.
And I already mentioned the frame, swingarm, and the R6 fairings. :msn-wink:
Nice bike but.
