Well, i was going to sell this bike and get a newer cbr in the spring. But i decided to keep it. Feels like the clutch started slipping...needs front tire...brake pads..wheel bearings..etc etc. Rode it all summer and it was a blast and i just cant bring myself top let her go. She walks away from my buddies 05' Buell 1200 lightening. Ill be posting pics as i go along...I figure ill redo the plastics and paint all of them black.

 

walks away meaning beats it in a race?

 

The old girl doesn't look too bad. I haven't seen very many of that color around for a long time.

 

Yeah, it out-accelerates the buell everytime. It has some mean acceleration for what it is. I just took her out for a ride today (~30* F) Got alot of looks and thumbs up

I agree thrasher....just a diamond in the rough.

 

Then why do you want to rattle can it black?

I'd try to maintain, or improve, the condition as it is! Not a bad looking bike as it sits.

 

Well the pics don't do the ugly justice. They are very cracked and beat up. I figure ill do my best to save them.

 

Hey if done properly, rattle can paint jobs can look just as good if not better than a professional job.

 

damn its hard to find them in that color!! mine was originally that color but the guy before me spray painted it black. ive been buyin different plastics for it cuz mine are rough too but they are all different colors than the black and red. ive got alot of parts if ya need something.. carbs, ecu's complete front and rear brake assemblies. radiators fan etc...

 

Im going to try to get to work on this thing...SOON! Pics will come. Selling off a few other toys first.

 

itsahurricane, you wouldnt happen to have the right side engine inspection cover would you??

Couple pics. Tore off the front end for new tire, bearings, fork seals....
