CBR954RR Repsol Replica - STOLEN

Wow, I fail to understand how someone could do that to your pride and joy! If you do decide to fix it back up, I know a few people that would be keen to pitch in labour and discounts for parts via industry suppliers! I still can't believe humanity could sink so low... So sorry for you mate, I do hope the prick that did the damage gets justice!

If you do decide to cut your losses, advertise it on here first? I'm always a sucker for a long term project!

Whangarei.
But considering past experiences as well: New Zealand.

You have our sympathies.
Was there no camera footage of the car park?

I asked the same question but unfortionately not. None on St Lukes Road, Morningside drive, and St lukes shopping center only covers the car park over the road.

The officer I spoke to about it that was investigating the case, said that unfrotionately it all came down to cost,.. so I said: "Why dont you sell all the super advanced technology you have in all your police cars to catch people speeding whilst driving in the opposite direction? Dont you think that money would be better spent on CCTV to catch actual criminals?" He actually laughed and replied "People higher up just do things that dont always make sence and we dont have any choice in it,.. but I agree"

Thank you Phreak,. I appriciate that. I'll get the bike home first and have a look, but I would definately appriciate any help with either fixing or selling depending on how good or bad nick its in. Everyone here has been really nice

What a shame. I wouldn't want my bike back after some twat had messed with it to that degree. It'll never feel the same.

I would advise parting it out or alternatively sell it complete on trademe or the like to some bloke looking for a project.

Don't sell it to a wrecker/shop, they will give you pennies on the dollar.

On another note, if the HISS ignition is broken (which it looks like it may well be) perhaps you could have a go at fitting a swipe card ignition!

sick

man i feel for you.

Name him, why are you protecting him?

if hes still around, why not set up a trap for him with another bike and catch him in the act?

Thanks mate,.. I'm not protecting him,.. to be completely honest I lost the bit of paper I wrote his details down on haha. I'll call the police to get it again later,.. and hopefully a pic if i can. I'm actually protecting the police, not the dude,.. like I said. I'll hapilly PM anyone whos interested.

I'll post again once I have the bike back and I've had a look,.. let you all know what I'm gonna do with it,.. seek advice etc

Interesting. I'd be amazed if a guy who did that to a bike was considered "fit and proper" to own firearms. Perhaps next time you're speaking to the police you should also mention the firearms?

It was the police that mentioned it to me,.. he has a pretty colourful criminal record

**pzkpfw** · 23rd January 2014, 11:12

Did I miss it?

Was the bike found in bits dumped somewhere after stuff was taken off; or was it found at someone's place?

**ShaunusMaximus** · 23rd January 2014, 19:52

So I picked it up,...

Poor thing ,.. basically I think I can fix the fairings with a plastic welder and use the dude that sprayed the tank to touch it up,

The ECU has gone,.. but looking at it I think it should be just that, new barrel\hiss unit and a yoke. Found all that for around $400 delivered except the yoke.

Could do with some help troubleshooting electrical stuff if anyone wants to volunteer,..

Does anyone know anything about the legality of the frame VIN number? Is it a legal requirement to have it re-stamped,.. and if so,.. anyone know where I can get this done? Same goes for the chassis number\plate thing? Where can I get a new one?

thanks in advance

There's heaps of yokes on EBay, either stock or some blingy billet ones: http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nk...d=390103897407

You need the VIN number on the bike, maybe give VTNZ a call (http://www.vtnz.co.nz/) - I imagine for a small fee they'll inspect it and supply a new VIN plate. Obviously best done after you've made the bike roadworthy if that's the direction you go.

Best of luck whatever you do.

About $500 for a used lock and ECU set on Ebay.

few to choose from.

Thief has hacked the battery wiring to get the ECU and smashed the ignition switch but the rest of the loom and wiring looked to be pretty much intact.

I'll say this much.... I have seen 3 posts on KB where bikes were stolen and recovered by police. It isn't like I follow this site diligently.... I personally think that is amazing! Good job guys. And - Good job to all the KBers that help out.
