Semi-pivotless frame

[mossy1200]

I'm almost certain that front fairing, was off a K1/2 GSXR1000 or K2/3 600/750

Doesn't look like any CBR I've ever seen.

Im not sure thr front end is cbr either. That's some fat forks.

Before it got crashed/chucked a leg out of bed, I think it would have been quite cool...for a Honda.

Paint looks choice, bodywork doesn't seem to have been bodgied on.

They are cbr forks. Wonder if they are straight though. Looks like K3 fairings and tail conversion.

This model was only 180 dry so it would be a light roller.

The first phot the forks look a little bent. But it could be completely illusionary.

Front fairing and headlight aren't K3 thou items. Tail looks almost R6 or R1.

Good talking point, till you chuck it into a creek.

I don't think he should get this one. It really only looks good for trailer parts.

You guys have a sharp eye. I gave the guy a call. He said its got a GSXR Front (headlight etc) and an R1 tail. Rekons the rolling chassis is all intact. Wheels are both 17". LED taillight.
What do you rekon? I was hoping for something a bit more intact in regards to lights wiring etc. Mainly because I'm not sure how hard it would be to tidy up that side of things.

[Delphinus]

Mossy & Drew, I see both of you guys are based in Wellington. Would either of you be interested in going to take a look at it for me? Box of beers (or equivalent) in it for you. I'm in Dunedin so its a bit far for me.

The headlight seems to be mostly intact. But of course, we can't see the mounting points which often break.

The looks of the bike, suggest to me that the crash wasn't actually that bad. The fact that a conrod has popped out the front of the casings means one of two things to me.

He crashed it, took it home, and did a monster burnout until it shit itself. The rear tyre has loads of tread on the sides, and none in the middle.

Or it chucked the leg out of bed, and then chucked him off.

I expect the lighting circuits to be mostly serviceable. Given that you are going to have to completely strip the loom to get those circuits on their own anyway, whatever damage there is you won't struggle to sort it. Switch blocks on the bars might be damaged, but it's of little consequence, they will be easily sourced from any number of wreckers and won't even need to be model specific for your application.

So the questions left to answer, are all on you. Is the extra room you get from a 'big block' sports bike a requirement? Is the bike fairly priced for what you're getting, in your opinion?

I'm happy to go have a look for you.

Give me a list of what you are concerned most about, and I will do my best to check the structural stuff that I would normally look for.

Yeah he did say he was doing a few burnouts

Good to know about lights/loom etc. I guess my fabricator friend should be able to do whatever needs doing to mount things in the right place.
Yes the "big block" and lightweight aspects are a requirement. I think its worthwhile getting some room and keeping weight down. Batteries are big. And heavy. Yes I do think its well priced. I had allowed up to about $500 for the chassis.

Thankyou, much appreciated. I'll confirm a list for you soon. I guess my main concerns are like you say, structural stuff, where/how its damaged (ie what damage might not be obvious?).
I have family in Masterton that can pick it up for me so no problems with pickup.

Allegedly it just fell over so wasn't actually crashed. I'll leave you to confirm that when you look at it.

Dammit, he sold it without waiting for the auction to finish... Back to the drawing board.

That sux. There shouldn't be a withdraw option.

Its the kind of thing your after. The problem you will have is its also the kind of thing people are after just to get the wheels.
Its likely someone called him and offered him $400 cash for the wheels and discs to put on a post classic race bike.
If the shocks were straight they would be worth 500+ to someone that has a wrecked front end etc.

The things you want are strong ally chassis, good wheels, good front end and a rear sub frame that bolts onto the main frame.

These would work but being Genesis models they will have 18inch rear wheels.
Conversion to 17inch isn't very hard but I had to order a fzr1000 exup 17inch wheel from usa when I wanted a wet set of wheels because they arnt easy to find.
Maybe that's not as important to you for the road.

If you want to stay budget down you may need to spend more and sell what you don't want.

I'd report, if you know it's been sold when there were bids with reserve met.
