It looks like it should come with a set of nobby tyres as well.
He does say he doen't know a lot about bikes, hence the upside down shockies. :-[ :-[ :-[

Scary stuff!!
Reckons he spent 5 grand on it!!
Looks like it's done some paddock bashing a while ago, then he's polished up the timing and alternator cases and got a rag and wiped the muck off the flash paint on the bodywork for the pics. Never seen forks that have been rebuilt that are still coated with roadgrime, either.
Aren't those shocks upside down as well?

Your not seeing things Eveready, you are 100% correct. Looks like all the Black on the bike has just had a quick splatter of fresh Mat Black from a can. He should have at least applied the pads onto the rotor to remove the excess overspray, hate to think what is hiding underneath the fresh paint.

I'm trying to work out from the pics if he's painted the brake discs black, or am I seeing things??
