Gawd (y)- who would buy that?

We have a donor! A very rough one!

Being picked up today in Perth by Tony Gosse @Granada and his very strong son! Thanks to all!

Edit
Geezuz!! I am glad I sent you some cash for expenses etc Tony, I just saw it is 2 hours each way. Hopefully catching up with your son that way will be enjoyable. You had better sling him a carton of his favourite drink out of that too! Give me a buzz if you need more.

Sounds a good option and even Canadian Postage shouldn't be a killer at that price!.
Do I PM my address again or do you still have it from the diff? I will still have your Paypal details.

Out of interest what did the Robinson's billet one cost?

I haven't pulled it out or down so no idea what else is stuffed. I was considering a complete tranny from USA wreckers but should wait till it gets split I suppose.

Possibly just that ONE Part #18 below as have not found parts of anything else YET!

Seen worse!

It still has 4000klm (2400 miles) to get here and will not be leaving Perth for quite a while as she is having a strip and lie down for a bit first, but she is tough so no waxing, she'll be plucked manually!

I just started reading this thread, and I as well have to go to Robinson's.
I just wanted to say that I love the paint. All I would need is 4th gear and an 8 track player!!

I earned a lot of beers fixing wadded up 8 track tapes for people

You enjoy plucking them after they've stripped then!.

I think this Rocket has taken the LED issues and made them a non issue. Regular flashlights would be enough lumens to ride at night. I bet it glows in the dark!
Definitely one of a kind.

I discovered more with the (and I kid you not ), switch labelled "Flux light".

There are flashing multi colored LEDs under the horn cover and all those studs in the guards are actually individually drilled and epoxy glued LEDs too with the wiring completely invisible encased in under-body chassis sealant inside the guards. Then I found some more LED strips stuck on behind the frame rails. Virtually all black steel rail surfaces and many others have been coated in that Black under-body sealant including the handlebars, switch-gear and, mirrors (now gone in the bin).

It might be sitting a while before it is going 'Warp' speed again but it is unlikely to rust away!

The wreck details.
Been sitting there outside for 3 years which matches that protective dirt layer.
Nice and dry in Perth though, so rust should not be too much of a problem

You may be in luck re a frame @Mittzy But it will not be here for quite awhile.

I'm surprised the eagle eyed didn't spot what I thought maybe a set of Jardines here!


I spoke to Tony @Granada last night and he confirmed the headers were not stock but rusty - Bingo! i looked at the other photo which shows the RHS from top and the header collector so @Tal should be able to confirm.
