Wanted - 999 Parts. (possibly 848/1098)

Discussion in 'Wanted' started by Nasher, Sep 12, 2021.

  1. I’ll be starting a new thread about my project 999 later today or tomorrow, and posting about the full assessment I gave it on Friday afternoon.
    But I wanted to get a list up of stuff I know I definitely need in case anyone has anything laying around.
    I’m watching some parts on EBAY, but would rather buy from other Forum members.

    All for a MkII 2005 999 in Red.

    Plastics - Not requiring repair or repaint
    Nose cone.
    Upper and lower Fairing sides for Left and Right Sides.
    Rear hugger and chain guard.
    Small Mouldings that go under the seat and the seat/tank mounting bolts pass through.

    I’m going to probably go with a Monoposto conversion, so anything anyone has that will help with that. Although actual rear bodywork wise I’ll probably go down the route of a Mrfurry Fibreglass unit.

    Headlamp bracket that’s already been refurbished or has no corrosion and lifting paint.

    Front Brake and Clutch Mastercylinder caps, or conversion kit to separate reservoirs.

    Sidestand and bracket, unworn, straight etc.

    Rear Brake lever

    Left Clip-on

    Front End
    Bottom yoke.
    Front wheel spindle.
    It would be rude not to even consider a Radial Fork conversion, and the most cost effective way to do this appears to be 848/1098 parts, so “what do you have?”
    I think 749/999RS parts are out of my budget, but try me.

    Anything else interesting.

    Thanks

  2. I have some bits in the shed that might fit the bill. I’ll check tonight.

  3. IME they don't exist
     
  4. Sev, we need to talk again obviously, I didn't want to hassle you.
    Oh, and I really don't want to go down the Fila route.

    Would appreciate you looking Nostromo.

  5. I have a nose cone and side panels, but they are dark ones so would need spraying.
    I have the rear brake lever minus the bit your toe makes contact with, I believe I have a front spindle aswell, I have to dig a little deeper into the shed though.
     
  6. I have a headlight bracket but it does have a bit of flaky paint on it, in case you wanted to repaint yourself to your own taste, don’t want loads of money for it. Let me know
     
  7. Sorry paulm2930, I've just seen your reply.

    I do already have a Headlight Bracket with the bike, but like yours it's a bit flaky, so will get that stripped and Powdercoated.

    Thanks anyway.
     
  8. Thought I'd best update this

    What I'm looking for now is:

    Plastics
    I'm almost certainly going to go down the route of a Plain Red set of Chinese EBAY panels.
    But if anyone has a set of Red panels that do not requiring repair or repainting please get in touch.
    They don't have to be perfect, so try me.
    Unfortunately the cost of a respray on a damaged set is more than the cost of having a new set delivered from China that will be perfectly acceptable for my needs.

    Small Mouldings that go under the seat and the seat/tank mounting bolts pass through. FOUND

    Monoposto Subframe, or a cheap Biposto subframe I can cut up.

    Headlamp bracket that’s already been refurbished or has no corrosion and lifting paint.

    Front Brake and Clutch Mastercylinder caps in good condition.

    I'm seriously considering using a set of 848, 1098 etc Radial front forks on the bike, so if anyone has a pair please let me know.
    I have everything else for the conversion sorted.

    Pair of PiperX or Ducati performance washable air filters.

    Anything else interesting.

  9. Thanks Nostromo, but there are several issues with them which make them less attractive than an EBAY set in my circumstances.

    They are 749 not 999, and the decals are lacquered in, so they'd need repainting anyway if I wanted 999 Decals.
    They are MkI panels not MkII, which isn't a huge issue really.
    There are no seat unit panels with them
    They are @£150 more expensive than a full set including seat panels delivered from China, not including my Diesel to collect them.

    PM me what you want for the subframe, I'd rather cut up a spare one.

  10. Just an update.

    I'm still looking for:

    A set of 999 body panels in Red that are useable, but not necessarily perfect.
    I've got time to keep looking before I need them and have to take the plunge with a £350 Chinese set from EBAY.
    I can get away without the nose cone, and actually as long as both sides are the same I'm happy with MkI or MkII panels.

    A pair of 848/1098 radial caliper front forks, or similar that will fit 53mm upper and lower yokes.
    I don't mind rebuilding them with seals and bushes, but the chrome must be good. NOW SOURCED
    I'd love to do an Ohlins conversion but just can't justify the cost.

    A Termi or similar endcan.

    Thanks

    Thanks, just seen this as I'm running out the door for a couple of hours or so.
    I'll have a good look when I get back, but could be very interested.

  13. Front Forks can now be crossed off the list:)
