So, when the site got hacked we lost a lot of shit. Some of it was my killer steal on this next fighter project.

91 Gsxr 750 - Too cheap......

Here's some pics when I picked it up:

So ugly

Potential

All that junk

Came with a bunch of shit too, nearly everything except some misc bolts, lower fairings and no bottom of the engine. Just the head & carbs. Works for me Oh and a nice stainless exhaust for me to hack up.

Then I tore it down:

Today I degreased it and it cleaned up really nice.

How come raw aluminum like this makes me hard in the pants?

My homie Rick noticed the "flip flop" right off the bat and was already ball busting. lol

I'm thinking of a few color combos. Not really sure what direction i'm going. I think i'm going to build the bike without painting, powder coatings or polishing anything. Then when it's all finished, I'll take it apart and do that. I can't even imagine a color scheme yet. I've tried but I need to first figure out what kind of presence this bike will have when you look at it.

I would probably try to build something that will set off that polished frame - looks like its in good shape, would be a shme to cover that up with paint or powder

...i just started polishin my engine covers (sorta) so i guess i have a new appreciation for polished shit and all the work.

 

[cbrf23]

haha, just found this on ebay - item number 200125143303

that would work with that frame nice. lol.

Well, I have a banana gsxr arm I'm using for now. Maybe one day I'll do the SSSA swap.

Yeah, I'm not going "exotic" swap on this bike, I've seen just as many SSSA swaps on fighters as the banana arm.

I'm building something that I want to own and I'm proud of that handles well and doesn't have an off-set rear wheel. lol

 

[Bailz]

Im a huge fan of big gull arms like the 1st gen RSV1000s and such

Looks good so far, looking forward to the updates:rock:

So a friend bought a rolling busa. He just needs the title, frame, wheels and top triple. But he got a ton of stuff with it. He lives in NYC and the bike was on Ebay here.

So I picked it up, stripped it and I'm shipping him what he needs. I get to keep the rest.

Lucky for me it won't cost a cent to ship. :rock:

I've found myself in some good deals for this fighter.

I'm ebaying everything that's no use to me so I should make money on the deal. haha. Not bad!

 

[DougZ]

Those 6 pots rule. arty-smiley:

 

[Moto-Madness]

Where in NYC man is he? I'm from NY

 

[Tommy Pantsdown]

He's in brooklyn, he's actually a friend of a friend BUT anyone who ingauges in a deal with me is considered a friend. lol I don't have an address for him yet, will later.

I was just looking on ebay. Some of these parts bring in decent money!


Anyone know of a high traffic busa forum?
