new bike?

[frankieG]

there has been a 2006 gs500F sitting at my friends place since the young fella crashed it last year.  it has 198 miles on it but the kid can not afford to replace the forks , wheel etc and damage.  so i think i will buy it off him, he only wants 1000 bucks and i will use yoshi for the parts

[makenzie71]

gotcha

[spc]

  keep us updated

[frankieG]

i just talked to him, he wants 1200 cash for it.  it need front forks, wheel tire, brakes etc all for the front end.   it is a 2005 with 198 miles on it, the blue and white f model.  i am probably going to buy it and make it like yoshi, black naked, with the yosh system and clip ons from yoshi.

Personally , id sell the 89 , buy a Gsx front end , or even a whole wreaked bike , like i had to , and put it on the 05 ,. and make it a beast

Seems awfully high for a wrecked GS, of any year.

i guess i should have said "damaged"  the front wheel  and forks are wrecked,  the plastic is rashed and cracked.  everything else is like a 198 mile bike should be

You sure about the frame being all good? was it a heavy crash? . also , 1200 , or about 700 quid is well cheap! 

[frankieG]

frame has already been checked by the dealership....thanks for the reminder though

[Jay_wolf]

Thats all gd then 

[frankieG]

the new bike project begins tomorrow, i will try and remember the camera

[Jay_wolf]

Where do u get all this free time? i have like none! im always at work

[frankieG]

ok if i did want to find a gixxer forks what year should i use? 600 or 750?  or what about the katana forks?

[Jay_wolf]

any forks will work with modifiction , but the katana forks work with little modication , easy swop !

[spc]

Ummm all years GSXR and GSX will require modification.   But it's not a huge deal.  If you get a GSX front end you can reuse the GS wheel and get some spacers from Dgyver.  That is probably the cheapest and easiest way to put dual discs on the GS

[Jay_wolf]

not 2 cheap mate lol

[spc]

True, but cheaper than a GSXR front and having to have a stem machined down     Katana makes the most sense by far

[frankieG]

nah i'll stick with stock for now

[frankieG]

the swop is almost complete and all i can say is WOW.  i have a brand new bike with 150 miles on her.  after sitting for a year she started right up.  the clipons and forks are on her now Yoshi 2 i guess i will call her.  tomorrow when there is more light i will finish it up by adding the front wheel, raptor shifter and the yosh pipe and that's it done.  for a thousand bucks and a few parts from my 89 i have a brand new bike   oh did i say it has 150 miles on her?   not to worry i will have pictures up tomorrow.  this is one happy puppy.

Nice , Nice! , damn ur mate must of been a fool
