Hallo everyone,my name`s Keith and I`ve just bought a SB6.It`s frame No;12.It seems it was the 1st SB6 imported into U.K.Thrashed`n`bashed by the Motorcycle press! The bike is partly dismantled at the moment and I`m not sure exactly what`s missing? The previous owner passed away earlier this year so I can`t ask him.
I`ve had a quick scan thru` this site and see spares for sale and Tech`help Very Happy ,Good News.Where can I get a parts manual/expolded views etc? I saw Admin`/Keith has a Micro fishe...I have a viewer Smile
Also my local Council Records Office have a machine to view and print
Micro Fishe but it`s over £1 per print,could be expensive if it`s 300pages long.
I will try and get some pictures up tonight.Maybe you could tell me what I need,bit confused as to rear subframe,[ not got one?].
I think that will do for now,get back to you later.
Thanking you in anticipation,Keith.

Hi Oily,thanks for the input,one bit less to look for Wink .
I`ve got to go back to the house this W`end to search for bits. Previous owner had loadsa bikes and bits so it`s a bit tricky. Some missing bits are obvious and not too much of a problem to replace/subsitute. i.e.master cylinders,footpegs.Just to say it came with 3 sets of body work.
All appear to be fibreglass ,Track kit. One all Red,two red+white with Aussie sponser stickers.....No lights? Could go Endurance style,bolt on Spot lights Very Happy . Cheers for now,Keith.
