    thats a good wee project you've got a head of you!, that tank looks FUCKED! it would be cheaper to get a secondhand one rather than repair it ( unless you've got a good mate whos handy with CIG)

    the subframe may be a mission!

    the exhaust isn't too bad, at least the headers are intact, an idea would be get a supertrapp or similar that would fit in there nice & neat.

    heres a pic from a mag for some ideas

    S3 lights as an aftermarket item are in excess of $300 I believe. Go to www.sportsbikesnz.co.nz and have a look there. Apparently you can just get 'standard bates' style lights, but I dont know where.

    2 - 2.5 inch mmmm rite! ok! the junction pipe maybe 2inch but the rest isn't the headers at best would be 1 3/8inch.

    NTV400 tank is the same the whole bikes the same apart from obvious capacity difference

    If it's steel , and not heat treated, you can heat it up with a gas torch and bend it straight. But you'll need either a jig, or at the very least a straight one to use as a template.

    it should be alloy but to check just use a magnet & see if it sticks to it!

    If it's high tensile , heating may be unwise. But cold working may be unwise also. Wrecker might have one?
