If your forks are damaged make sure you check the main frame,,bikes nowadays seem to be lighter than they are strong...it doesnt take much to bend or break stuff I have noticed lately

Hello and welcome to the boards. If you don't mind me asking, where did you find a wrecked cbr1000RR for sale at? Does it have a salvage title? Best of luck putting it back together and keep us updated with pics.

Welcome to the family. I hope you have all of the proper documentation as well as a good contact with whom you bought the bike from. This is just in case something pops up that you weren't informed of from the get go. Post up and read often of this forum. There is a lot to learn and a lot to be shared here. Looking forward to seeing some pics of the bike when you get her rollin'.

I bought it from a neighbor who wrecked it and didn't want to soak all the money into fixing it up so he is buying new one. No itdosen't have a salvaged title he never reported the accident to anyone. The paperwork and recipts and title are all done and documented. All the bodywork was trashed, forks and triples were tweaked a bit, radiator was banged up, pickup assembly was broke, flywheel was tweaked, alternator cover was cracked. So far i got about 900 in it replaced forks and triples,Radiator,case cover and flywheel, clutch lever, pickup assembly. I did the pair mod,flapper mod, filter mod, and removed the cables to the exhaust valve. Started it this past weekend and rode it around the neighbor hood. Runs great dosen't pull or drive doggy. Getting ready to get all the race glass from brad at superbike supply he is awesome can't say enough good about him. I purchased a dual leed led for the tail light and brake light as well as a set of projection lamps that will be fabricated into the upper race glass. So as of now it is going really good. As for the price I initally paid for it I am not saying cause no one will believe me if i told them. I will post pics of it when she is all done. Thanks
