Looking at Ebay listings for Mito or RS125 cans I reckon £20 including delivery is fair. The only reason I replaced it was because I acquired a complete system to replace the battered spanny on my first GFR. Someone got me a very good deal on the complete system ;-)

It's in good condition (certainly compared to yours). A whole tribe of spiders may make a swift exit when started up though.

Does the mounting bracket look OK for the Crono (note there's no rubber bush with this one).

I am going to get a new exhaust bracket and hanger from ebay. £20 seems a fair price how would you prefer payment?

Paypal is OK. I'll email you my email. Before you pay though just measure the length and the length from where it attaches to the pipe to the hole in the mounting bracket. I'm sure Joachim is correct, but it's best to be sure it will fit.

i have a piece of metal linked to the footpeg hanger that attaches to the bracket to hold the exhaust this should be ok to keep the pipe stable if not i will make the metal piece longer to move the bracket further up the exhaust, if you get what i mean

ok so the frame has had a coat of paint and started the swingarm but will finish it off tomorrow, the the bike can start going back together, once its in one piece i will start on the plastics and tank. Gonna strip the paint off fix the fairing and respray yellow should look good when its finished. I will be on the look out for the original fairings for the Crono soon once i have got some priorities out of the way, so if anyone can point me in the right direction. I will also need headlight with bracket and the bracket for the clocks.

ok so when i was in the garage today i managed to get the swingarm, shock and linkage fitted. Also fitted the rear wheel, just to see what it looks like (will need finishing off) the colour of the wheel will be the colour of the fairings when i get round to it. Any way the engine has also been transfered (would the barrel and piston from the crono fit on the gfr?) most of the electrics are in order now. The radiator is fitted but having a problem with the hoses at the min, i think i have missplaced a seal as the water was leaking out. Also the right switch controls are not right, it does not tighten properly and can slide up and down the handlebar and can rotate forwards and back so when the throttle is pulled the whole unit comes with it, anyone know how i can sort this?
Anyway progress so far will get more pics sometime,
