Hello from Yorkshire
« on: September 29, 2009, 10:15:05 PM »
Hi All,

Ive just picked up a 4000 mile 400 four F2 from the original owner.

I sold him my motorhome.  He noticed that I had a couple of bikes in my garage and said he had one sat in his garage doing nothing since 1982.

I promised him a good home for it and colected it last week.

I need a new or near perfect chainguard to replace the original one which is slightly pitted.

Pics attached, more available if anyone is interested

Ahh, the 200sx.  My mate had one of those in our scooter days, he loved it when it ran hated it when it didn't. I used to have a vespa px125 wicked to ride, unstable as a box of frogs

Hi Russ.

Welcome over. We love the US guys to bits - but they do sometimes go off at a tangent (don't ever mention guns, health insurance or politics on a US-based forum...)   ;D
