FS: Crashed Andrew Stroud's superbike

[avrflr]

Andrew Stroud's 2003 spare race bike (he didn't race it because he didn't crash)
Raced for 2 seasons by Vaughn Paterson. Bike had about 5500kms on it when it was put back on the road and I bought it. Now has about 7000kms.
Engine prepared by Ray Clee
Milled head (Can't remember exact CR. Runs fine on 95, I ran it on 98)
Yoshimura stage 1 cam
Yoshimura ECU
175HP@wheel (with a yoshi full exhaust and headgasket. Bike currently has jandalled stock exhaust and stock gasket.)
Yoshimura adjustable swingarm pivot inserts
Aftermarket brake pads
Was soooo beautiful to ride :weep:

At last count, it needed:

Fairing (just about the whole set)
Very minor ding in tank
Footpegs
Exhaust headers and endcan
Oil cooler
Radiator
Rear wheel

Sorry about your trail riding gone wrong man, kinda gives us all a wake-up call though eh?
Is that the complete list of mods or has the bike got aftermarket suspension, damper, clip-ons, gearing ,yada yada?

[avrflr]

That's the complete mod list - they took most of the goodies off when they put it back on the road.

[Skunk]

Have you replaced the rear wheel? One of the pics shows it bent.
Is the frame straight? The front wheel doesn't look like it's in the right place. Could be the pic.

[avrflr]

Oops, my bad, forgot the rear wheel. List amended.

Sorry to hear about your Jandalled Gixx. Hope you get as good a result as you can.

The Jandal chose you. You could not escape it's reach.

and get the rim straightened by smythe and yeates in cambridge will be approx $200 + paint.

so looks like the bike could be sweet for $1500-2000 on top of the buying cost, of course looking at the pics the fairings a salvagable and repairable... go custom paint?

wish i had the money for it, someones gonna be lucky.

Cheers Gareth. It would be a bargain, but an anonymous tipster has just given me some disturbing news about the history of the bike and the nature of the failure that caused the accident. I'll post more in the general section.

[avrflr]

Please don't go to Colemans to have a look at the bike. I have received a shitty phone message from them complaining about people wanting to see the bike. So, bikers not welcome at Colemans.:weird:

Your anomymous tipster has his info wrong, that bike lost a sump plug after a shop servive, no mistery here. My guess is that the same person that put the sump plug back in put a new oil filter in as well, and damaged the O ring on the filter, which has just now let go causing you this grief.

Good on you for trying to be honest with every one though mate

[Milky]

Hate to be a cunt, but why does it still need a "Very minor ding in tank"?

Cannot gaurantee a thing without seeing the bike as it is now!

I would be chasing the owner all over town to get the bike back so you can inspect it

[bugjuice]

yeah, fair call..

Coleman's initial assessment was that the oil filter was not properly tightened and worked loose (no, I didn't put the bike together). Sometimes fate just shits on your carpet, doesn't it?

well well, get chasing that bike people

[bugjuice]

just not tight? or is this cross-thread thing carrying some water?

[avrflr]

As far as I'm aware Colemans still haven't got round to having a proper look. There's a lot of intrigue and he said she said going on and I don't know if I can be arsed playing Nancy Drew and getting to the bottom of it. If I find out anything concrete I will certainly let you know.

[SwanTiger]

Would they let you use the bike as a trade in on a new one dude?
