    The Mad Posties '88 GPX600R Project **SOLD**

    **SOLD** Thanks all.

    Hi guys, well due to an injury which makes riding this thing barely possible, I decided to put her up for sale and turn to the dark side..... Harley.....

    Details of the bike and build can be found here... http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...?TOPIC_ID=7438

    The bike comes with all the original fairings and equipment in good general condition, an R-Jays gear bag and rack to suit the original subframe, and the following brand new parts valued at well over $1000.

    Twin 4 inch headlights fitted but not wired.
    $186 worth of rego till April 2008(5 months)
    Front and Rear tyres. Details below.
    Acewell ACE2853 speedo
    Bar end mirrors-fitted.
    Carbon look arrow indicators front and rear.
    LED taillight
    MX Bars in Red Powdercoat
    4x Unifilter foam pod filters.
    Redline red engine breather
    Stainless braided hose cover kit with red trims
    Quantity of red heatshrink.....

    And probly some other stuff I've forgotten.....

    Open to offers, though please make them reasonable due to the new parts involved..... I'm not going to be unreasonable though.... its gotta go....

    If you want to overlap the rego another 6 months to sort shit out, I have no issues with that. Just remember the speeding fines are yours.

    Located near Gatton west of Brisbane. Can arrange transport to Brissy and surrounds for a cost.

    Fire away.....

    Thats a shit mate...looking forward to seeing the end result here.....
    But for fooks sake DON'T go to the dark side.....check out all the jap cruisers...they beat hiddly diddlyson's hands down on.....well just about everything...power,handling,stopping,reliability and price.
    If you can afford a diddly you can afford one the lastest gen jap's.
    Plus you can 'fighter one up a bit and not look a twat...try that with fatboy/big boy/rude boy whatever...

    I know where your coming from Mr Postie. Im thinkin the same thing. Head down arse up has become a pain in the back. A nice slammed pro street low rider may be the way to go.

    LMFAO!!!

    Yeah I guess each to their own.... I actually feel more comfortable on the sporty custom I bought.

    Kwaka custom was the best of the jap cruisers....

    I also had to consider the amount of plastic and stuff that would drop off on a dirt road, of which I've got a bit to ride over....

    Anyways, too late now..... taking delivery of a new Sporty Custom on the 5th December.

    Something like this looks pretty bloody good, i reckon it would go hard as well. Kinda like a Harley streetfighter. Personally id fit flat drag bars tho.

    Hey I dont know if its going to be a streetfighter strictly speaking.....

    But lets just say its gonna be a fuckload more fun rollin with you lot than the local chapter of the "I'm so fuckin kool cause I have tatts, a Harley and a bad fuckin attitude" Bike Club that seems to dominate.....

    I'd prefer to roll with the guys who ride for riding sake, not for fuckin super-fuckin-hero pose factor......

    Sorry.... had a bad morning.....

    hehehe..... I like your reasoning......

    Seriously though..... nobody wants a cheap DIFFERENT ride???

    Honestly.... before I started modding, I was offered $500 as a trade unregged.... you do the math.... add some rego and new bits, and take away some for stupidity..... and presto....

    Yeah there's some work to do...... but isnt that half the fun?

    Oh and I'm on the lookout for a drag bike project...... just another option maybe for someone......
