And this is an in progress repair shot....
And here we are with the repaired panels on and rego'd. All up she's on the road for under 4 grand so far....
Now the fun really begins....
was it a stat write off Hillsy?
Repairable write-off. Stat write-offs can't be re-registered.
Thanks mate, that's what I was wondering. I have seen a few stat write offs for sale and wasn't sure what the go with them was.
good stuff, now sell it for 8k and buy a really bike []
(this coming from the guy who 5 minutes ago was on a 250...)
Rev the fucker!!!!!
$8K eh????....Anyone interested??
Went too far on the rebuild there Hillsy!!
Shoulda stopped at the 2nd piccy
You're right Chalk - I plan to fighter it. It was just easier and cheapest to plastic weld the panels and slap it back together as close to stock as possible to get it through the WOVR inspection and Safety Cert without any hassles - which it pretty well did.
But now I'm in two minds - do I fighter it or sell it as is like Fimp says and start on another???......
what are other ones on bikepoint selling for?
Rev the fucker!!!!!
Just had a look in BikePoint and BikeSales...they're selling from $8,500 (private) through to $11,000 (dealer). Bearing in mind that I repaired the fairings myself (1st attempt at plastic welding - so they're not perfect) and quickly painted them with spray cans....I'm thinking it would be worth somewhere between $5-6K ???
Some progress...decided to keep the ZX9 and bought one of these
Which would look OK except for the poxy brackets....
So I made some out of alloy plate...curved them around a bit under the front....and added the stock indicators
And here's a close up....Next up is to get rid of the clip-ons, get an undertail, do something about that bloated front guard...it never ends, does it?
I think you'll find, no matter how much you do there's always something else that could be improved. That half the fun, the possibilities are endless.
