Actually, one of the posts I have meaning to get round to doing was...
I am considering buying a CBR1000f 90-91 with the intention of parting it out over winter.
Cash flow is quite tight for me (Single guy just bought a house - eeek!) and the intention would be to help fund keeping my bike rather than making a living out of it, and yes I would ship around the world at cost (Dont want to make money on postage)
Do you think it is viable ? IE would I get my money back?

As far as thing sort of thing goes ... the worst that may happen with only one bike to part off , is that you might get stuck for a while with a few of the less popular bought parts ..???
I know even if you sell a good engine as a whole unit , I have seen them go for around the $1000 US ( if the miles are not too high )..
So a cheaply bought CBR1000F for around the 1000 mark or even less!!!! would be a good deal..
I also think it is worth keeping in mind that most of the people that do this sort of thing regularly to make money...
( can afford to hold quite a few parts till they sell without any financial stress..)

RE: Fairings
Not got one in mind - I had the idea when I was looking at steel exhausts - I was seeing end cans go for close to £200 yet I could of picked up a bike for £600 that had a full stainless system,
I thought why not buy the bike for the exhaust and sell the other bits off?
I Will keep my eye open for bikes on ebay over the winter

RE: Fairings
Maybe what we should do is start some sort of 'parts register' so we know who has what in their sheds. I, for example have a few bits from the 87/88 model, like an oil pump, a stator cover, a pair of chain adjusters, pair of F/footpegs (no rubbers)a windscreen from a 89-92 model, and a complete set of 93-96 clocks in good order.There's probably a bit more, but that's what springs to mind.
If it's viable, fine - but postage and payment should be UP FRONT - I've been burnt once already this year.....didn't even get my postage back - pity, made me a bit cynical....[X(]

Hi all, the company in the USA has already been mentioned, Airtech http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/...0001987-90.htm.
The spanish company is motorhead http://www.fairings.net/index.php?pa...CBR+1000+87-88This is a twin light conversion but I think they also supply the original replacement
