    allright peeps.
    (long story short)
    basically a mate of mine had a accident on his bike..scratched his 59 brought a new 1, and had his scratched 1 up for sale for 80/90 pound. he brought it brand new like 2/3months ago..it has no cracks/holes or welds in it.

    i was on his case for like 2 days because i wanted to buy it..but he kept saying he cnt hes got a buyer allready. lol, there was just simply no way he was gonna give in and sell it to me.

    (bearing in mind) he had just orderd a dragster frame to start a new project, i went and brought some dragster panels off a m8 for 70 pound..hoping he would like them and do a swap for the 59 or if not i was just gonna sell em on...but anyway he liked the panels just as i expected :grin: ....heres some pics of the pans.

    Dragster panels are rare as hell anyway let alone being custom painted like that. They will fetch a hell of a lot more than £70 mate. The PM59 is a bargain at that price too, just the scratches are a eye sore, not sure if you can do much with it. I'd give him the cash for it, if you can't do anything with it, sell it and you'll get more than £70. I'd sell the pans too maybe eBay.

    yh i know mate..sometimes i think about it and regret swapping for the 59, just for the simple fact that i would of liked to see how much they would of sold for on ebay.
    but then i think about it, the only reason i brought the panels was because i knew he would want them for his dragster and swap for his 59.. he wouldnt sell me the pipe for cash because he had a buyer allready.

    im just glad the plan worked :mrgreen:

    pans are a bargin, dragster pans in comstom paint!!!, good find,

    as for the pipe, a shop could pull the dent out a pit and depending on how deep the scratches are you could polish them out

    Lol aka i know some people who know some peopel who robbed some people :lol:

    right ive always wondered if after youve bumped the pipe out using the water in freezer method can you not simply polish out the scratches the same as you would polish a tranny case?
    and what would this looks like compared to the chrome?(surely not as bad as the scratches?)

    just because you paid good money for them doesn't mean their legit, 70 for drag panels that have had a 300+ airbrush paintjob on nearly everything? don't give your bullshit about legit, these might be robbed but we have no proof, so we can't assume it's been stolen unless we get in touch with darkside who one of the members had the ped and ask him personally what he did with the drag pans. 70 for the front panel maybe lol.

    its about 300 for a good plain gloss black paint job, for air brushing you might want to triple that number lol
