Damned bad news Tom.

Sorry bro , was really hoping it was going to be something simpler . I will say though , that you pulled off doing an amazing job rebuilding the whole bike starting almost exactly a year ago . So fixing the forks and changing the cases out should be an easier task given the same time frame .

I'll help if i can , bud

Nice looking Ninja 9 there Tom, congratulations. To bad on the motor case, we did suspect that. I don't have any extra cases but I do have the extra set of forks I told you about. They are not perfect, and may need re-chromed but they are yours if you need them, unless you decide to go a diff. route and upgrade or something. Let me know if I can help.

Thank you Darrell for the compliment and the offer, I've got pretty much everything I need to get it back together except for time maybe

Good day in the garage
Swapped out forks and donor bottom end is all bolted in

That 110/90VB18 Lazer looks fat sans fender.

Prime time for 810 slugs.
