Ready for the road. (with pics) - jimmylyons - 22-02-2010 Hey there, Finally got her back together after a bit of cosmetic care. Took her for a short spin down my driveway and felt sturdy (no wobble). All thats left now is to get reregistered, hopefully will get time to book in for an inspection this week. I know some people are appossed to buying a bike with a bit of cosmetic damage, but after many spills due to learning the conditions of the road and also racing accidents I was quite happy and capable to get this busa back to original state and I'm happy with how it turned out $2k's later.

It sounds like I did something wrong buying a bike to fix and that I should have bought a new bike for $19K, which I will use the odd wknd for a spin with mates. I bought this bike as a small project for myself and not to save money ( I just enjoy playing with bikes) (19-02-2010, 10:09am)Camel Wrote: Jimmy, Camel, I did scrutinise the bike especially the head and was confident there was no surprises. Taking into account the front end wasn't totally smashed i.e. clocks still in tact, not a mark on the handle bar ends, tank and tail. I figured it couldn'd have been that major of an impact. The forks were obviously kinked and the lower tree clamp slightly twisted, but sometimes you can never know about frame. Anyway mates also had a look (one been a bike mechanic) and reassured me the frame was fine. I must dig out the before pic which will give you a good idea of the damage. I know a few of you were interested in pics so please see attached. And thanks again to those who answered my questions regarding parts. Cheers Jimmy RE: Ready for the road.
