    I have purchased a wrecked (well accident damaged) and abandoned in the rain for a year 2008 JH600.

    I have yet to collect it (it's sitting in Yangshuo) I have the paperwork, the keys and a train ticket for the 26th. It was running when it was parked, but it was parked in the elements and I have no idea how bad it is, I've even heard that the oil filler cap was missing :( I'll be taking a lot of tools, oil, a battery, chain and whatnot with me to try and get it running and if I do I'll ride it back to Huizhou to my workshop, if I can't get it running I'll ship it back.

    I've been mucking about customising bikes in my little workshop "Churchill Custom's" for more than a year now, so I'm really looking forward to this massive challenge "making the ugliest alien bug looking bike ever made... Pretty".

    Stay tuned for more!

    :eek: Looking forward to posts.

    If you source anything from Taobao, please share links, ideally including the Chinese name from the top of the Taobao entry, that way when the vendor closes shop we can still find the part.

    Surgically remove the headlight, try to keep the cluster intact.
    Use a custom designed welded crash bar to support a new headlight and front fascia. You could take some body part off a Xingue XY400?

    if you want to sell it on quickly make it look like a Beemer.
    gotta be fixable I'd have thought, just a question of how much it needs in parts.

    Not necessarily.

    This one exist as, for example, "Stels" 400 GS.
