She's a bit messed up but it's got most of the bits I need (motor, carbs, elecs etc)

I'll need to find an exhaust for it but the wheels and calipers should pay for that
Now I just need to get it home and it's off to the shed too let the build commence. One bandit-engined, slingy wheeled and SRAD sprung slabbie coming right up
Sweet! Bring it on Disco!
What did you end up paying DD?
By the time I paid the commissions and a dozen extra levies it came in at $900. It will cost $250 to freight it to Sydney (thanks for the lead Rexie) so a bit under $1200 all up, about a dollar per CC. Given the prices I was seeing for a motor alone I'm pretty happy with that. If it turns up and the motor's fucked then I won't be quite as happy
Fuckin OUCH!
Nice price for the bike though - it must have been running pretty well when it hit whatever it hit [:0]
The front wheel is not repairable Dan & I'd reckon the discs will be bent too after an impact like that.quote:Originally posted by DiscoDan

ouch indeed looks like the front of my sv, but it didnt get any tank damage.
yeah, the wheel looks toasted. I'll have a good look when it turns up. I might end up with a decent battery out of it thoughquote:Originally posted by TurboKat

Good Luck with it.
If you wanna sell that Exhaust for a few bucks give me a yell I am looking for something to chop up.
Those dents in the tank scare me.. haha.. dude's never having kids
Picked it up today. As expected the front end is completely fucked. From the engine back is pretty much untouched and most importantly the engine looks to be in great nick. The cheap bugger was running on bald tyres, I was hoping to get a set off it for rego at least. The aftermarket exhaust in the picture isn't on it though, some bastard's swapped it for a stock unit so I'm on the blower now
Over the next few weeks I'll strip it down and post what is up for grabs
awesome buy mate!! don't worry most of it will buff out anyways!
fark thats got to be a nut extraction [:0]....did the guy survive it[?] either way full steam ahead on the re-build mate,another bandit
Update on the missing exhaust: it turns out the owner had it removed without the insurance companies permission whilst it was in the tow-truck yard, cheeky bugger. He's still in hospital in a bad way (I was wondering how he was) so they're not going to take it up with him to recover it.
They've slung me $200 worth of gift card to make up for it. Whilst it's not what the can's worth new I'm not complaining as I have another can anyway, it's beer money. I guess that means the whole thing cost me $1,000 which I'm happy with
