FS: Crashed Andrew Stroud's superbike

**avrflr** · 6th March 2006, 15:40

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

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

****PLEASE DON'T GO TO COLEMANS - THEY ARE GETTING SHITTY WITH PEOPLE LOOKING AT THE BIKE****

Asking $6000 as is where is, tell all your friends.

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** · 6th March 2006, 16:29

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

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.

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.

Thats some rotten luck there chap, makes me want to check my oil filters on tight, shit happens tho least your still walking and talking, ive got a set of headers and a muffler if ya want then but there for a k2 might fit.

full fibreglass fairing set

general fairing search

Radiator ETC

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.

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.

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

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