$2500 firm. this bike is in excellent shape and was completely gone over last summer. i finished it sept 15th 2007 right at the end of riding season.
selling because the day after i finished the bike i hi-sided on the race track and got my 3rd concussion in 8 years 2nd major in 2years so bikes are out for now. I am still having dizzy spells as i sit and write this. i want to sell it so i have cash for my wedding this octoberl but will keep it in the shed if i do not get what i want for it.

Beautiful bike...would have loved it even more if it were flat black all the way around!
Good price by the way! What's the damage from the wreck, if any? Also where are you located?
I am not in the market, but I just wanted to say the bike looks great and the price is really good. Good luck with everything. :thumb:

Located in Buffalo, Ny
damage from the wreck is nothing, it was a friends Motard. Motard crash VERY well. cold tires too much throttle pitched me over the front end and i landed straight on my forehead head. have been to neurologist and had inner ear checked. he says all is good physically but i still have a chemical imbalance that is causing dizzy spells and nausea. sucks but i am going to stay off the bike as much as possibel this year to get my head on straight , literally.
i was not sure what to ask for the bike. i know what i have in it. price may go up in the spring but for now it is frin at 2500. if you know anyone looking let them know.
BTW thanks for the compliments.
is that a newer engine than a 1990? ( silver cases)

yes, it came out of a 1998 that i bought from a friend that was his race bike. this is alos where all the suspension bits came from. when i sold the bike i put stock stuff on it and kept the race bits knowing i woudl own a gs again. originally i bought this bike for the GF but after she rode it she decided to keep her shadow 500. so the tear down and streetfighter project began. 4-5 months later it rolled out of the garage the way it looks in the pictures. engine was rebuilt 1500 miles ago with no track time on it since the rebuild.
Beautiful bike :thumb: And the price is GREAT! :thumb: Good luck with the sale :cheers:
great looking bike...how many miles on it?
sorry forgot that info, 7500 miles on Odometer but engine was rebuilt in the last 1500 miles.
Bike looks awesome, I love the rear end. How much work went into just rear end?
about 30 minutes with a die grinder. 5 minutes with a grinder and polishing wheel and then 2 small brackets for the 636 tail light. total time probably 1 hour max but you have to have a little vision.
nice work, if i had teh cash to spare, ( or sold my truck, id get it.) anyhoo someone will get this thing, me thinks :icon_razz:
So where in NY is the bike located? Does it require premium gas?
buffalo, ny (western Ny about 100 miles east of erie PA and 80 miles west of rochester NY)
yes it runs on premium gas only because of the higher compression and ignition advancer. i have not run anything lower than 91 octane in it as i do not want to chance pinging (pre-detonation)
Looks beautiful. Did you do any documentation of the project?
unfortunately i did not. it was a side/backburner project i worked on all summer when i had the chance. i was to busy doing trackdays, getting my WERA racing license and riding at a local motard track 2 times a week. left little time to document the project.
i started sometime in april/may and finished middle of september. i was happy to just get it finished last summer. hardest part was prep work for paint and painting it. went together in about a month after i painted it.
Is anyone interested? i appreciate the positive feedback and compliments but really am looking to sell it.
I really would if I didn't live so far away. Good luck though.

I heart your bike. it are very very pretty.
put it on craigslist. $2500. bet you'll get a little over $2200.
It really is a good looking ride.
what kind of tire is that on the rear? (bt-02) and what size wheel/tire combo?
michelin pilot race H2 tires.
i think i am 150 rear and 110 front
150 on stock 3.5 rim or do you have a 4 in. rim
katana 4"rim.
bike is not for sale anymore. i was able to figure out some things financially and will be keeping the bike for now.
thanks for the compliments but i will be keeping the bike for a little while longer.

ok, so what's the next plan for it ? i'd like to follow the progress
Katana Is a 4.5 inch rear wheel ,. the bandit 400 is the 4 inch
you wanna sell any of your sprockets separate?? I'm looking for a 14t front.
Due to fiance wanting a bigger wedding (than already planned) :o The bike is back up for sale.
see original post but long a short
race engine
full yosh system
full restoration
works shock
racetech springs and emulators
katana rear wheel
7500 miles (approx)
$2,500 with manual and a number of spares.
I like it but the exhaust looks too long. A shorty can maybe, or just cutting off the can altogether would make it look so much better.
wanna sell a set of the clipons?? If so how much shipped to 95503. Northern Cali.

too loud right now as it is. besides i am not cutting up a yosh system. if ti were stock maybe but not a full system. buy the bike and you can do what you want to it.
some of the spare are going up for sale, check for a new thread soon for spare parts soon.
buy any chance u still got the stock can for it at all
I've got a stocker that has a drilled baffle if you're interested ^^^
SOLD,thanks for looking
