How damaged is too damaged?

Roo collected and delivered my 500 from Bryan a few years ago now, only met him the once, what a great character, not seen Roo posting for ages.
I hope he bounces back from the knock backs that life has given him.

Yes a real genuine top bloke. Spoken at length with Roo a couple of times.
If you are out there Roo, give the forum a shout.

Top work Ken. My patience would have ran out and it would have been tossed back in the spares box. On the other hand I'm a hoarder who doesn't chuck stuff away.
Tail light bracket with 3 sets of holes for mounting the number plate
Sprocket cover with a dent
Fork sliders with a few scuffs too deep for paint to hide
Plastic replica rear mudguard
Alternator housing sound but grey with corrosion
Basically all stuff that could be refurbed with the right skills and time, and this is something that we all need to get used to when NOS parts dry up.
So we'll done Ken for showing us the way.
Regards
Dave

Fork sliders are very thick so most dents etc can be fairly easily removed without compromising safety. Same with rotor covers , sprocket covers can be a problem, I sanded right through one once. Threw it in a bin, then retrieved it as I thought maybe the metal would come in handy for something and bugger me but it did. I used a piece to repair another where a broken or loose chain had broken through the oil pump wall.
Roo is doing pretty well just lately, still bad internet connection though but he now has a lady friend ❤️❤️❤️ seems to be all loved up etc. somewhere to live and a potential long term job. I’m made up for him.

Good to read the update about Roo, I have messaged him with no response so his mobile might have changed or gone..
