was a wiring problem.
What needs doing:
-wiring loom is gone.
-coils probably rooted.
-some rubber hoses still there but damaged.
-paint is fooked.
-throttle cables melted shut.
-front guard need adjusting.
-need the dash and key barrel to be mounted.
-It is listed as a repairable write off.
the good:
-new plugs
-new oil and filter.
-new fuel pump relay.
ausfr.com.au twin headlight setup.
bar end mirrors.
new aftermarket indicators all around.
99.9% new conti tyres front and rear.(road attack rear, sport attack front)
good condition sprockets and tyres.
basically I am considering selling this off for whatever I get for it, and buying a different bike.
Any and all offers considered.

I'll pay $500 for it.

The tyres alone are worth that.
Sorry TK, for that money I would be better off parting it out.

As you can see the wiring above the engine is nicely melted.

Well, you did say you'd consider any & all offers ;)
My maximum would be a grand (yes, you'd still get more than that if you wrecked it) only 'coz it'll cost me $500 to get it to Melbourne.

yeah I know I said that, and I considered it, and said no :)
Fair enough TK.
I have someone coming to take a look on Tuesday, and will take it from there.

Kawasaki - There's your problem!
You poor bastard. That is just really shitty luck. Hope you get a good amount for it so you can buy something with a big S in it...

Send it to ben, we've seen what he can do with a Toasted Bike.
Then paint it pink and white with Flames on it and call it the
Marshmallow...
That must have been devastating to watch happen. [V]

yeah, my gut fell the second i saw flames.
thinking of buying something that's already on the road then modding later.
got slip coming on tues to look at it.
You're lucky I like matte black and setting shit on fire.

Bike is sold to Slip, thanks to all those who showed interest, it seems he has some big plans for it.
Yeah, I'm wrecking a 93 ZXR750 if anyone needs parts....
