Hello everyone, this project is going to be one hell of a learning experience. I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes down to motorcycle mechanics / fabrication. but I always say:
If there is a will - There is a way :rock:
A brief history about myself, I rode a gs500 for about 6 months before selling and buying a 95' ninja 750 / 97' yzf1000-r. Went down on 2/14/06 on a the ninja, and fractured my right tib / fib that looked like this:
(they put a 12mm thick titanium rod in my tibia and 1 screw in my ankle 2 in my knee - Fuck metal inside your body - metal was removed via surgery on 6/26/08)
Needless to say I was discouraged from ridding for some period of time from friends and family. But being the person I am I could not resist getting back on two wheels. The bug had took a bite out of me and during my recovery that bite got infected.
now, back to the bike..
I bought this bike a while back (06') for a smooth $2400 with hopes of building it up to my tastes. Soon after I bought it the seller (whom worked at a motorcycle shop) was going to get the instruments fixed for me. The yzf was in the shop for an electrical issue regarding the low fuel light not working properly. During that time I had my injury. As the bike sat at the shop a few parts were shamelessly stolen. 2x bar end mirrors, and a duel headlight set up. I took the front fender off to help discourage me from ridding until i was fully recovered from the injury. and that time has come.. I am now 21 and in the past few years I have matured in ways I never thought possible. I am striving to be a safe rider and protect my life as well as the life of others. Life is short folks.
if you have any questions/comments about the above please feel free to PM me or post here...
moving along,
Today the bike sits in my garage.
as a naked mess.
I will post more on this thread as I get information / money for my build. it will be a slow process - and thats okay with me. I'd like to get it done right the first time around. :rock:
Here is the bike when I first purchased it for visual stimulation.
Shortened D&D pipe.
Chop'd Subframe.
Vortex Sprocket +2 rear.
Real CF Front fender.
Fake CF Rear fender.
LED light bar for rear brake light/turn signals.
(bar end mirrors + lights have been stolen, will update pics soon)
