Just wanted to say that I just read through this whole log and it was awesome seeing all of your hard work fly by. Terribly impressed. Can't wait to see it when it's all painted up as well.

How much are you asking for her if unpainted and if you decide to part out I would be interested in the GSXR FE.

I would love to see your bike with a gsxr fe!

Reason for selling???

That bike --- you have to like the style. It is more of a bike you ride to try to impress people. It is not a commuter and looks pretty uncomfortable for any ride longer than to the store and back. It is very different. Also it is a "project bike". It is a lot of different things put together as a project. and what was the purpose of it? A project... so a new owner would really have to be a mechanic. I doubt anyone could afford repairs at a shop because they would charge so much just to figure out what was there. There is no service manual for it. No instructions.

It is going to be a very hard sell.

I think in listing all of the things you spent money on - you should have included $14 to put the right side timing cover emblem back on. That scraped up cover with the open hole is an immediate turn off. It yells "I have been dropped and bandaged back together".

Primer gray makes it look unfinished. Stressing "no warranty implied..." seems like "I put this thing together and good luck when you get it home".  Any buyer would feel uncomfortable buying a home made bike with no warranty and it implies no after sale help. That's not the same as  buying a stock bike in "as is" condition - for there you know what you're getting and can get parts, read a service manual, etc.

My neighbor bought a bike for a good price (CBR600) that had been raced and modded a little. returned to street status. That owner stands behind the bike. He's gone back a couple times with questions.


...and why do so many people sell a bike and only show pictures of one side? Makes you wonder about the other side.

Why does your posting say $1700 firm and the CL listing is $1500?

So I can buy a bike with no working speedometer, needs painting and who knows what else for $1500. OR a working GS500 for $1500-$2000 ready to go or even a GSXR for $2000-$3000. Hmmmm. An unfinished bike is even harder to sell. So why not finished? Don't like it? Not comfortable to ride? Project didn't work out as planned?

[O.C.D.]

Wow, why did you even bother to post that bull Sh!t?! Coming on my thread and bashing my build, my taste, my reason for selling and the way I sell it!!! Go find somewhere else to inflate your ego.

I am not going to defend anything as I do not need to. I just wanted to waste my time acknowledging your desire to be an a$$hat.

Now leave and go buy a factory bike that does more than "go to the store!"

Changed price to match - thanks for keeping me in line. 

[cbrfxr67]

I think it's great except for the awful gray paint.  If it was red and matched, it would be hot.  That is a hell of a list of parts but it doesn't look that different to me.  I mean obviously it is and much much respect for putting the work into it and accomplishing what you did. 

Good luck to you and hope someone picks it up who will appreciate it as you have. 
Ok I'd still like to see you finish it, I admit it.
