special price for quick sale! $4000

This bike is my pride and joy and is a real head turner.

Registered to 14/4/2013
WOF to 15/6/2013

I have had it maintained meticulously.
New brake pads, brake fluid, sprockets and chain 2000 km ago.
New rear tyre less than 1000 km old, heaps of tread remaining on the front.

The fairing had a few cracks when I bought it so had the fairings repaired and had a full respray done. Removed the indicator holes from the front fairings and fitted new mirrors with integrated LED indicators.
Aftermarket LED Tail light with integrated indicators.
LED number plate lights.
Custom Fibreglass undertail.
Aftermarket Rear Hugger.
Custom Undertail Exhaust - Four Tailpipes (sounds awesome).
Slight modification to subframe to lift tail angle.
Custom made seat cover - leather with red stitching.
Removable Pillion seat cowl.
Carbon fibre look decals on seat cowl and tail.
Polished alloy pillion foot pegs
engine repainted with high temp black.
Polished section of clutch cover

Due to a time waster I have put it up for sale again.

I wouldn't have a clue.

I just noticed your TardMe account name. You must surely be referring to Nissans?

Remove the images from your quote of my post before Gremlin gives you an ~~anal probing~~ infraction. Copy the URL of the image from the Tardme ad & paste it into the "Upload Image" window that appears after clicking the little tree icon in the edit post page. If you edit your original post I think the ads may appear on the home page, maybe not.

Looks great. With regard to the rear subframe mod did you extend the lower section to give it the extra upsweep? Did it affect the riding position and or comfort at all?

I did indeed, I simply took out the lower two bolts and bolted in two 15mm bolt spacers then welded them to the subframe. It only made a very little difference in height but I think it changed the whole profile of the bike - makes it look a little bit sportier. I made the undertail panel at the same time which required cutting out a lot of the original undertail plastic.

what happened to the weld on the exhaust connection? Rest looks ok.

Which connection? top at muffler? bottom?, I do actually appreciate any constructive criticism - gives me an indication of what prospective buyers see that I could sort out.

..interesting exhaust system.

In a constructive tone: You might want to advise if the original exhaust is still available with the bike, just in case a prospective buyer finds the custom set-up a little too "interesting" for their taste.

Sorry for any inconvienience but the bike I was after has been sold so no longer require a quick sale hence the bike has been relisted on trademe for 5000.

And yes i do still have the stock mufflers, but if the purchaser wants them fitted I will need to fabricate the pipework, not a hassle and will cost no extra.
