Well today on my maiden test ride, the bike caught on fire.
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.
Located sunshine coast QLD, can deliver to brisbane.

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...
