Hi All, Im new and just saying hello.

I decided to get myself a summer project and picked up the remains of a GSXR 400 GK76A. It may take longer than i hoped to get it up and running properly. Id like to strip the engine and rebuild it, but when i got a quote for new seals and gaskets it was 250 big ones (genuine parts from Robinsons Foundry) does anyone know a cheaper why to restore my engine or where to get patten parts?

Cheers Col

Hi, thanks for that. I saw another post that said pretty much the same so ill give that a go. The bike is in a mess so i thought id strip it completely and start with the frame and work out.
