Bit of background

Turns out it did start life with a fairing but after being shipped to the US (I assume for some kind of riding holiday) it was dropped and sent back. The fairing was removed and it was put back on the road, no serious damage. Soon after the headgasket blew, twice. It turned out that the cooling fan wasn't cutting in causing it to over heat. Probably an electrical problem caused when the fairings were removed. And thats how it was left! So, the first thing I'm going to do is get both heads checked and skimmed if needed. Then test/replace the electrics and put it back together! Only real expence is going to be the exhaust as the one that was on it was to far gone. So, she is a well travelled girl!
