Hey guys, looooooooonnnnggggg time no post. A shift in focus in life has taken me away from bikes, recently I tried to re-invigorate my interest by acquiring some more bits, but it didn't work! End result is I'm selling those bits, and unfortunately, also my 'fighter. I'll put this up in the coming weeks, once I ready her for sale and get some current photos.

Anyway I've got some Gixer Thou K5/6 wheels, Gixer 6 K4/5 forks and some GSX1400 throttle bodies on eBay if anyone is interested. I bought all this stuff with the intention of getting the 7/11 down the strip but I've decided corners are my thing so selling up to fund this. BTW if anyone is wondering, GSX1400 throttle bodies will NOT bolt up to a oil cooled GSXR motor (as I was once miinformed!).

Here's the links:

GSX1400 throttle bodies - $0 starting bid

Gixer Thou wheels - $500 starting

Gixer 6 Forks - $200 start
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200260395617

All ends this Sunday.

For those who give a toss I'm going to build up a trackbike, not quite sure just yet, prob just pick an engine and build the bike around it. It will be bastard fast and bastard light, watch this space! Cheers, J

Pretty much the same as it ever did really! Seems there's lots of K1 tail conversions out there these days... Only change is went back to the standard curved oil cooler (the Earl's one failed on me...) and put some BMC pod filters on her to sort out the mid range. Got a couple of problems, popped a fork seal last time I rode her back from the Aus Supers @ Symmons, and those mini dials have died. Prob the same time as the fork seal, I'm never riding that bumpy as fuck road again!

Obviously I'll never get anywhere my money back, so maybe I'll consider breaking her if no one is game for an outright buy...

Shit there you go! Thanks for the words mate, I've still got no idea what I want, I'm thinking a change would be good, maybe a twin, or a triple, or maybe have a go at a big bang inline 4... chasing traction you see...
