Hi guys,thought I'd update the post, IT"S FINISHED. Couldn't get used parts anywhere so had to order new stuff, but worth every cent.There was 1 headlight available in OZ and 1 radiator available,3 fork tubes,so I got 2. How lucky is that? so Aussies, don't crash, you may be waiting a while for parts. While apart I replaced the fork springs with Race Tech springs.The right side lower had been dinted in the crash so instead of replacing it I glued some fine emery paper to a straight section of the original fork tube and worked that until the inside was round again and put a Race Tech sticker on the dint so it's not noticable from outside, was only very very minor anyway.
I had a new steering stem made up and fitted into the bottom triple clamp, that worked out much cheaper than buying new and included straightening both clamps and welding one steering stop back into place.
The first time I rolled it outside into the sun I noticed that the paint has blue metalic in it so the front mudguard is plain black
but you can't tell unless it's pointed out, a blind man would be glad to see it. The mudguard was almost broken in two from the crash so it had to be plastic welded and bogged up.
I had to replace a footpeg and a clutch lever and repair paint damage to the alternator cover and that's about it, although it has a small dint in the tank where the weight on bars swung around when the steering stop got moved back a tad, but, it's only small and i'll get to that later.
I had to get a safety certificate, insurance, and inspection to remove it from the damaged bike register (which took all ......day) and into the rego office and, as Willy Nelson says, "on the road again".
It's great,it goes, it handles,it's more comfortable than my TL1000R.
I love it......Will post pics when I work out how ASAP
Thanks to all that offered help.
