    Did you get 'your' turbo? Do you still have the exhaust and wheel? I
    still have the battery sensor.

    This address is valid but let me know if you send an email as it's an
    account I don't check.

  4. Picking it up this weekend if it gets through the MOT. I will have the
    exhaust spare. I'd forgotten about the wheel actually. It was 25 quid
    for the wheel or 30 to include the sprocket carrier - do you need the
    carrier?

    Just need to sort out getting them to you.

  5. Bad form and all that, but I forgot to mention...

    I've got a CD that's got the parts diagrams and numbers for the Turbo if
    it's any use. In fact it's got all Kawasakis on from about 1968 to 1998.

    Just the wheel [1]. I think Champ mentioned he could become involved in
    collection/storage.


    [1] and exhaust - unless the sprocket carrier is a "must have".

    Most should have the CDs on Monday/Tuesday.

    I have the wheel, but the exhaust will need some attention before it's
    fitted, will let you know when wheel and exhaust are ready for a trip to
    Swellers.

    Sweller - I have your wheel (obviously). It's in very good nick and even
    has a good tyre on it, plenty of tread but rubbers gone a bit hard.



    First impressions on the turbo.. Well umm, seeing as I rode it across
    Birmingham with a half flat back tyre (2 broken compressors at petrol
    stations so I gave up on that idea), I couldn't test the handling.
    Engine is very sweet and goes like stink, front brakes need attention as
    they're pretty ropey, think the pads have fluid on them. Other than that
    it needs some TLC but it's not too far off. Cosmetically it needs
    attention but I knew that.

  17. Found some coppaslip on the pads, so careless spannering caused that,
    new pads should cure it. It's already got new fluid and some stainless
    hoses courtesy of the previous monkey, so should be easily sorted.

    The work starts here!
