Any Gamma experts

[LC_BOTT]

Hi, been looking at a 250 gamma and wondered how hard parts are to come by, (bodywork and exhausts) looks like non standard fairing and possibly cut-down sidepanels, so would need a full bodykit? believe it's a MK3 (full fairing, and no 'flared' indicators)

Any idea on whats a good price for a 'non runner' ie a basket case LC from fleabay in comparison?

Seen a few nice ones on there for stupid high prices, and they don't seem to sell very quickly at all. Prices all over the place

I have been looking for plastics for my old proddy MK2, but I don't bother looking anymore
I think the MK3 might be more abundant in the spare plastic department, but don't quote me!
I did consider buying a complete bike for spares.
When I get round to re-commissioning it, it will be carrying all its battle scars!
(Non from me, but a few from its former rider - a winner of the Macau GP!!!)

MK3 Gamma fairings are very hard to come by, especially genuine top fairings. Tailpieces are pretty common and cheap and tanks are also very cheap compared to LC and YPVS and don't seem to rot anywhere near as bad either. Don't see too many sidepanels or belly pans come up so I guess they are quite rare too. The proper MK3 mirrors are rocking horse too. Pattern ones do fit but are too close in so you can't see bugger all out of them. Proper MK3 ones have longer arms. Funnily enough, basket case Gammas do sometimes come up quite cheap. They don't seem such a popular restoration choice as LCs so you can get them for £2-300 if you are lucky but then you would have to hunt down the bits. I don't think pipes are that rare.

Rich is pretty much bang on.
I've seen some reproduction mk3 fairings up for sale, not sure of quality.

A good place to get panels from is Japan, there is a breaker on ebay, who sells good quality stuff. Postage isn't cheap but delivery is very quick (Sunday - Thursday), parts from them can be very cheap as well.
I have a mk1 fairing, that is no longer required but does need some working it,
