Title: 88 master
Post by: rarman1 on August 31, 2007, 10:28 PM: this is my 88 master that i got of little7251 (if you still have a pic before i got it of ya) unfortunately the forks were bent so i've gone for some others, stripped off what paint was left and gave it to superbikeDan :daumenhoch: for powder

Post by: stuntmaster on September 01, 2007, 08:56 AM: the ones complete go for more money than can afford what with postage and normally the bits are crap anyway and the ones that are frames never have any forks . will keep hunting

Post by: rarman1 on September 01, 2007, 09:49 AM: i think most of the forks get bent as they dont seem that good to me, they have a slight rake to start with,

when i was riding my 88.5 sport it felt so odd :-\

i'll let you know how i get on in my search for other forks......

Little bit of work could be nice, I don't think there is much differance between 87s & 88s :-\

I want an 87 & 89 ???

Post by: rarman1 on September 01, 2007, 10:50 AM: yeah i had seen that one too,

looked a bit too much work though for just a frame,

the brake lug missing put me off as well as the chrome (well what was left of it :LolLolLolLol:
