I rebuilt a ZX10 that had a hit in the front - looked like not too much damage so thought it would be a cheap fix up - what you dont see is all teh damage underneath the skin, just goes on and on - ended up putting 10k into a bike that I bought for 4k - ok so I ended up making a show bike (Rapid & 2007 Bike show) but the pain was almost unbearable and the constant frustration having to source new parts, new frame etc etc etc - I wouldnt do it again better off buying a cheap 2nd hand running bike I rekon. Rego wasnt hard, I had to get a blue slip as the bike was registered interstate but after that no probs. Good luck if you go down that track; dont expect an easy ride or better expect to find more damage than can be seen on the surface
Egos; everyone got one
