Default rebuilding stolen hurricane

Had my Hurricane stolen a few weeks ago but the local Gardai found it and I have it back ,most of the plastics have been damaged so am thinking of building a streetfighter any advice would be appreciated

That sucks, Patches. Sorry to hear that. Did they catch the thieves?

Anyway, I would probably just look for some used plastics or fix your old ones if it's possible...
These bikes are kind of a pain in the **** to make look good as fighters. Little bit of work involved... probably as much as fixing the plastics?

next to blooming impossible to find used plastic over there Dylan and if you did
it's cost ya a family member almost.

Closest is the UK and the Euro to Sterling exchange rate does not help much either.

Patches try Biker.IE ......put a post out see if anyone has some stuff you need

Give us year of manufacture and colour (!) Patches........
We'll find you some plastics.
These bikes look crap as streetfighters - never designed for that.
Fixing plastics is actually quite easy - give us some pics and we'll do a "how to" for you.....
Slainte'

Oh and Patches ........lock her up good this time ..........ya know the ******* that
nicked your bike the first time are probably living closer to ya than you think.
Usually that's the MO .......someone passing or seeing it on a daily basis eventually
makes the pinch.

Actually Sprock the pound is sooo weak right now It's almost 1 for 1 against the Euro!! So now would be the ideal time if Patches wanted to replace the plastics!

Let us know what you need mate and we'll all keep an eye out for you

WOW I shoulda checked....... now that is a turnaround ..........holy cow .........
Time to get in with the EU crowd and finally go with the Euro maybe ???

Never understood why the UK holds out on a unified currency given it's leadership
position in the EU !

Anyhow Patches........apologies went a bit off kilter on yer thread her man.
(Lady with the spikey heels might be watchin')...LOL

lots of offers of help here for ya ........most of us like to keep them "original"
