Almost all parts are either new, very good original condition, or have been reconditioned and/or sand blasted and profesionally painted (all in matte black). Let me know what you need and I'll let you know if I've got it and how much (will be cheap!).

It'll be a hassle but I'll send photos of specific parts as requested. Why does your name 'Slyer' ring a bell? Have I sold or bought parts off you before?

I bought your upper fairing stay, windscreen and pack rack.
The franken-gpx lives on!

Of course! I'll talk to you about parts on MSN sometime. Mostly for you it'd be a case of upgrading parts since you've already got a complete bike. You could buy the rear swing-arm and assembly which has been refurbished in matte black... would look alot cooler than the shite looking silver crap they came out with. Got matching (matte black also) rims too! Got some nice 'burnout practice' tyres on them.

Haha I've already got a spare swingarm and wheels which I'm stripping all the paint off to give them a repaint.
The swingarm is very shiny sanded metal the moment, going to paint it over the next week.
Got a rear shock from an '08 250 coming in from the states. (adjustable, better and not stuffed)

Big plans indeed.

Do you have photos of the swingarm in black? I'll consider painting it black if it looks good...

I'll sell you my one, it's snapped in two but it says NINJA! on the front.
It almost balances the complete lack of the top half.

Mine is also snapped in two (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=126018&d=1239419196) :(
I wonder how long duct tape will hold it!

I'll see what photos I can find Slyer. Just make sure the metal isn't still very shiney when you paint it, or the paint wont stick!
