Hi Lee and welcome to the forum fella

Had a quick nose around WEMOTO site and Im impressed with the extensive range of parts and bikes covered, bookmarked that sucker !!!!

Haven't removed the old vinyl yet, that's a job i'm not looking forward to.... If i get to frustrated I might be looking for some panels too.

Not got any parts for sale but I am a designer and have alot of contacts making various parts in different materials. If any one wanted something a bit special i might be able to help come up with a solution and get it made.

I'll upload some pics of custom parts and projects I've been involved in.

Im currently working on a non-bike related project which will probably bore most of you, but after that looking at designing and making a custom streetfighter

If your looking at doing a streetfighter ffs make sure you use a sports bike as the base & not a fucking bandit, hornet , sv , GSX1400 or any other retro bike , they ARE NOT streetfighters
if you like wemoto then try these for OEM parts

yes thy're yank sites but on OEM you don't pay the tax ( or something like that ) so you just have delivery & maybe a small import charge & the parts are half the uk list price in a lot of cases , PJC bought his rear subframe from partzilla & was well chuffed

Didn't realise I had an extra member on the design team lol, Don't worry Jompy i'll run the base past you for verification first

Its me and my friend that do the projects together, I'm more of the engineer and hes does the arty farty stuff or as i like to call him the felt tip fairy (he doesn't know i call him that) !!!

Not sure how far we going to take it, but looking at designing a new frame, sub frame, swingarm etc..... but who knows might be biting off more than I can chew !!!

Don't worry I'll project manage you So what's the chances of you starting a thread in the projects section with plenty of pics please ? , we love a good project

That R6, wow you were lucky to walk away from that and I dont mean the crash never seen a bike snap like that before, how fast what did you hit etc etc. I like a good crash got a few entries in "Crash Test Dummies" At my age I should know better

Welcome Lee, that was one bad crash , as the guys have said, you will fit right in here

I think I had an angel looking over my shoulder that day, it was scary times and put me off biking for a while.

A few of us was dicking about around Petworth and Bury Hill and every sensible rule went out the window.

Don’t ride outside your limits chasing someone who is faster than you on a bike and roads you’re not familiar with....... recipe for disaster!!!

I was following a friend who is a lot faster than me on his bike, at the top of Bury Hill the left hander tightens half way round (didn’t know that). I F***** the previous corners up and tbh wasn’t feeling it that day but foolishly I was determined to make up ground. Couldn’t even see my friend at this point and got my line all wrong started the corner in the middle of the lane at 90+ got half way round the corner tightened and then….. had that heart stopping realisation I wasn’t going to make it…… There was traffic coming in the other direction there was nothing I could do….. I tipped it over trying to find more tyre it wasn’t there….. I low sided in what seemed slow motion. My leg was trapped under the bike (thank god for extra long crash bungs) sliding into head on traffic cars swerving around me. My leg came free the bike collected the curb and shot off up the road, I was tumbling at this point over the curb and ploughed into light shrubbery. A bloke who narrowly avoided me help me out of the bush, I escaped with a couple of light scratches to the legs pretty f****** lucky considering I had no leathers on. I was obviously more concerned about the bike and the fact it wasn’t mine, but this bloke said he was a biker and take it from him I was lucky to be alive and he was expecting to be fetch a dead body from the bushes.
This thought me a valuable valuable lesson, it put me of bikes for a while….

One of the worst things that day was having to ride my bike 30 miles home, an hour after the crash.

But 8 months later I done my first track day at Cadwell Park and it been plain sailing since….. well almost hahaha

Funny thing was just before we headed out on each other’s bikes my friend turned to me and said “you bend it you buy it” lol !!

Ah so ur the reason they slapped a 50 limit on it up there [emoji106][emoji1] u were very lucky indeed
