Both our engines were from Sidenet. Malc at Yorkshire Engines also advertised on Sidenet. Haven't been on there for a while though.

US spec loom and CDi - Ebay (USA) - approx £220 delivered (with the drat added).

Wasnt bothered not getting a UK Cdi as they have a coded key.

Got mine from Cheshire Salvage i wanted to see pics before i bought as i wasn't in a position to collect it and they supplied loads of pics even showing the mileage which was nice also showed reg and chassis number so new it was the same bike.

Bike didn't even looked totalled but thats the case isnt it with these bikes that just some fairing damage can write a bike off.

I didn't get much warranty only 30 days but i got someone to get it running on a stand asap cause i knew it was gonna take a while to sort everything.

I did intially try and buy from Malc and he was a nice chap to talk to and had the cheapest engine around but i can be abit paranoid and wasn't too keen on paying via cheque i like to pay with my credit card so know ive got some security. Obviously he is all legit and kosha as loads have people have bought from him and been very happy.

We went to look at Cheshire Salvages' bikes... as stated the damage is more or less superficial. Most can be heard running...

Prices can be a little excessive from time to time...

Scratched frame is usually a bike write off...

Fairing damage is not a problem... labour and parts to change a frame is lots..
