Update - as of this weekend, she should be gone. Did a swapsies for a DR650SE (got a Cairns to Cape York trip planned)
Hey guys,
LONG time no post. Haven't been working on let alone riding bikes for a few years now, basically I have 2 expensive hobbies, guitars and motorbikes, and the bikes have taken the back seat for a while. I'm now at the stage where I'm happy with the guitars I have, so now I'm looking to get back into bikes.
I built a 7/11 fighter about s**t 7 years ago, when I was in NSW. I since moved back to TAS she'd hardly been rego'ed let alone ridden. It's been sitting in a mates rumpus room under a sheet for the past few years. I've got a SV650 project on the go that could do with a cash injection so I'm putting this one out there and seeing what happens. Here's the specs:
The Good:
91' 750M Frame – Polished
1127 Donk
Freshen up by Motorcycle Weaponry – 5000km since then
Waggott Yoshi Stage 1 grind cams – dialled in
3-angle valve seats
New rings, bores honed etc
38mm Carbs
Factory Pro Stage III Jet Kit (for 1127 with 38s)
Factory Pro ignition advancer
BMC Pod Filters
Full Akrapovic system
BMC covers
Renthal Sprockets, spare front
Suspension
Done by Terry Hay @ Shock Treatment
Racetech springs F&R
Polished wheels & swingarm
Brakes
Tokico 6-pots, all fresh seals
Galfer waveys F&R
Goodridge braided lines F&R
GSXR K1 subframe & ducktail (seat & cover) – Key fits ignition, tank & ducktail (I reckon I was the first to do this in Aus...)
Mototeck undertail
Harris billet exhaust hanger (have pillion pegs too)
Renthal Bars
M-Toby steering damper
Rearsets, Tarozzi, they're high and way back!
Rizoma reservoir
Stainless engine bolts
Proper adjustable flasher unit (the expensive one)
Alarm
Other bits and pieces no doubt!
The not so good:
Speedo & tacho no longer work
Scratch on the swingarm that can't be seen unless you look for it (from rearsets)
I put this treatment in the tank as it had a bit of rust, it's got this white rubbery stuff lining it which is slightly coming away at the very top, is fine, but just looks a bit odd
Not running, no rego
Have semi-race tyres on there at the moment (Pilot Race or 002Rs from memory) so you'd want to put road tyres back on there
Here's some pics from when I first finished. Pretty much she's as you see here, save for a billet M/C reservoir and a M-Toby damper:

So now down to business. I've honestly got no idea what this would be worth, I've been that long out of the loop it's not funny.
Is asking for offers bad karma? Bearing in mind it's in Tassie (limited market) so there'd be freight charges if you're interstate. I'm happy to negotiate getting her to different stages, running (new battery, plugs and carby/tank drain should be all that's needed) or rego'ed or delivered to Melbourne are all options I'd consider.
Cheers, Justin
