Hey guys how you going.

Mike here and I'm writing to say hello and get a few ideas. My motorbike got run off the road last weekend and I'm thinking abotu Strretfightering it, but I'm not sure and maybe someone else might be interested in doing it instead.

I ride, or rode, a K2 GSX-R600 with a Yoshi Pipe and Powercommander.

I had just had it serviced and cleaned up last Thursday and only got to do about 150kms on it before it got damaged. It still kicks over first go like a champ and revs are still very smooth. Serviced at Mick Dyers in Penrith.

I'll post some pics, but has anyone got any ideas, or is anyone interested in buying it to streetfighter it???

Mike

Well just reading his For Sale thread on Netrider, he is asking $4000 as is, has not been recorded as a write off either, so less work for the person who buys it.

Most of the work is already done why would you bother selling it?

it goes like this mate -

Top triples and bar Raisers $400
Bars $130
Headlight setup (basic) $495
Matt Black Spray Cans $ 10
Total $1035

The look on all your tupperware covered riding mates faces when they see just how cool and completely awesome your new ride is compared to their factory plastic covered dime a dozen rubbish?


PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!


Do it stop being such a nance and finish the job. You know you wanna.

Oh and chicks dig fighters too...

Yeah, bike is on ebay and on netrider...I don't have the time to do it. It was an amazing bike...my mechanic almost cried when I got it back there within 4 days of the service. It was a beautiful bike, but I just don't know if I'll still enjoy it as much without it as it was...I miss it, but I'm ready to move on. Thanks fellas for picking the important bits...lol...

RED ZX is right - Bike was not recorded in accident...haven't been back to RTA to get rego back yet, still trying to figure out how I do that without telling them that it was in an accident - I'm thinking tell them that I am going on holidays and it will be being put in storage or something like that and getting rego back...gotta figure that out, but yeah, no police report, no record of accident - mate went to hospital but he 'fell off the roof' or something...Very easy to re-register.

Docktor - Correct link. Thanks. :) anyone that wants to make an offer let me know...

We'll see how the bid goes....doesn't finish till saturday week...if no luck and no-one wants it, I won't have much choice. I will probably fix it as a fighter and see how I like it...anyone got any links of pics of gixxer fighters???

Mate about your rego - If it's like Qld you don't need to tell them anything to de-register it. Simply fill out the form hand in the plate and they'll send you a cheque in the mail for the balance of rego less the admin fees. If they ask just tell em you're putting it on the track and its unroadworthy cause you've gutted the fairings, lights speedo etc. They won't ask though cause they don't really care.

Oh and if you're worried about not having fun? Change your front sprocket down 2 teeth and go up 3 or 4 on the rear, slap some oggy knobs on it and start doing some wheelies and stoppies bro.


Mate how many pics of Gixxer fighters do you want? For links try these:

there's the free research done for ya mate use the search function at the top of the page if you want more.

Oh yeah and Des is the King of Bling so don't be too put off because he has an OCD like obsession with continually buying stuff for his rides. It takes time, but with time comes a continually refined product.

thanks...well I can leave and happy for the thread to be deleted, but I thought that someone on here might like the bike and would appreciate it more than me..sorry for thinking of others...If I was just going to fighter it, I would've done it....it's a perfect bike as far as engine and all the rest...

Mods...feel free to delete thread...have a good one fellas...
