Curvy with GSXR front and rear conversions

[shelleyamy]

2000 Curvy with lots of stuff.

This was mine, and then my dad’s, but he has decided to hang up the boots (he is about 76). Hasn’t really been used for the last couple of years, just sat in his garage having goodies added to it, and cleaned.

Main bits. 2007 GSXR 750 compete front end and rear wheel conversion.

Forks, discs, callipers, wheel, fender all from a new 2007 GSXR 750 (now still only have covered a couple of thousand miles).
GSXR rear wheel conversion, with 2008 GSXR rear wheel as new condition, and brand new Avon storm ultra 2 180 rear tyre.

In no practically order:
12 months MOT
R & G Tail tidy
Yamaha R6 quick throttle conversion
Double bubble dark screen
Seat cowl
Aluminium rear under tray
Rear hugger
New front and rear sprockets (front +1)
New heavy duty chain
Kawasaki ZX10 rear shock, (checked and tested by Maxtons)
New swing arm bearings
Iridium plugs
New plug leads and caps
Yoshimura exhaust
New throttle, clutch and choke cables
New oil and filter
Braided brake hoses
New raised dog bones (originals supplied if needed)
New shock link bearings
GSXR foot pegs
K & N air filter
Near new Avon ultra storm 2 front (couple of hundred miles, if that) and new 180 rear Avon ultra storm 2.
New GSXR rear wheel conversion including 2008 GSXR rear wheel, newly powder coated to match front.
Although I bought this years ago as a cat D, (faring damage only) it is a genuine clean un abused reliable honest bike.

This is a good intimidate bike before going the full GSXR route, lovely tractable SV engine with a well sorted chassis and most important, brakes.

£1500. Bike is in Farnbough, Cheshire.

If it doesn’t sell, I will convince him to break it, as the parts are worth more. Ist dibs will be on here, then the GIXER forums, then eBay.

bargain of the century... if i had the cash i would buy it...

[Scythe92]

So would I! Christ that's gorgeous, puts my curvy to shame. Hope you get a good sale.

[Winder]

I just bought a bike! Dam it. That is mint and will be purchased in no time. I'm jealous of whoever the new owner will be. How many miles on it and has the speedo fix been done for the GSXR conversion. I will annoy people I know and make them buy this.

+1 I could have picked it up on the way home today :cry:

Dang

[maviczap]

Whats the mileage

[garynortheast]

Blimey!! That's bloody lovely. For God's sake don't break it!!

[Bordtea]

Oh wow!

[Runako]

I'm just curious to know how come you don't know your dad's real age ...

:smt035

[shelleyamy]

Thanks for the comments, mileage is 32,000 and it has the hall sensor and magnets for the speedo all made to look factory (the old boy is a retired engineer).
I have trouble remembering my own age, but doing the maths, he is 74.

[ruddlad]

Blimey, I am really tempted by this but getting up to widnes etc. would cost me a few quid...

Hi,

I am a new member (well been watching while!) and this is VERY interesting bike. What is insurance like? I have quotes for £130 ish for a standard SV. Does anyone know how much these mods could increase that by..... I know its personal circumstances but if anyone has some ballpark figures that may help.

Thanks

Pinpoint, if you go through wickedquotes.com then all my mods were completely free to add on as long as they dont give more than a 5% horsepower increase (I'm only 18 aswell), so have a look on there. Obviously if its loads more expensive then I wouldn't bother. Adding pillion cover and riding other bikes didn't cost anymore either, I think the underwriter is equity red star.

[pinpoint_uk]

Thanks for that.

Funny enough thats the one that has come out cheapest on a comparison website. I'm 27 so guessing it won't change too much....

I will phone and see

Thanks again

You can do it online mate if you whack the reference code into their own website, gives you a list of mods and you just tick them.

I've rung motorcycle direct, H&R and express so far this year and their online price of cheap for a standard bike wasn't affected too much by mods.

[pinpoint_uk]

Thanks for your help.

Just tried on the site and was unable to give me a quote - prob due to the number of mods and tbh would like to speak with them so they know everything when quoting!

Sounds promising though.

Cheers

Dibs on the GSXR front end and rear wheel if it ends up being parted out.

I dont think thats going to happen .
Heck id perswade rictus to give me a pilion and id have it for the AR12

[pinpoint_uk]

Hi again - just a couple of extra questions

Is the bike taxed at all and could it be taxed if I buy (obviously I would pay)
Is the original pillion seat included in the sale?

Thanks

Rich

[wigumjunior]

pinpoint_uk if you end up buying and dont want the cowl i will buy from you :)

[pinpoint_uk]

Didn't say I didn't want it.... :) Just that I plan to take out pillions. However I may be able to sell if I don't mind the look without - this is of course if I buy....

Cheers

Just a quick update for OP.

I have told wickedquotes about the mods on the phone and am waiting a reply as they needed to ask the underwriters because of the number of mods.

Thanks for answering the PM i sent too.

Cheers

Just been called by wickedquotes and sadly they wouldn't even give a quote due to all the mods. Probably due to me not having had a licence for long (passed feb this year). Therefore won't be following up my interest.

Thanks

[Mr Speirs]

Which mods did you mention?
Are you trying to insure it FC or TPFT?

[pinpoint_uk]

Hi

I mentioned everything (do it by the book) and the guy said the underwriters were mainly concerned with the forks and suspention mods as it now wasn't really an sv due to the scale of the mods. Think its more my lack of experience.

I was looking at TPFT but due to them not wanting to insure it I guess it will increase the premium quite a bit if someone was to insure and I am on a budget. Still looking but in no rush as I have other commitments at the mo.... Should intoduce myself to the forum now I suppose... :)

Yes better forks that work and will keep the thing in a staight line are far more likely to cause problems than the soft squishy OE one's????

[Mr Speirs]

I'd be suprised if everyone on this forum who upgraded their rear shock ever mentioned it to their insurer.
Most of the time things that don't increase power are only mentionable if you want them to be replaced or taken into consideration when valuing the bike after an accident. If you are TPFT then there is no reason that the mods should affect the price or indeed whether they would quote or not.

Well wicked quotes are currently insuring members with upgraded suspension and brakes. Did you try any of my suggested companies of which are willing to insure me with the same mods?

[The Idle Biker]

Anyone want to go 1/3rds with me and share it as a track bike? I'm serious about this.

It's too nice, buy mine and I'll have that clean one.

[Bibio]

how i worked it was not replacing like for like in the event of an acc or if it got stolen then the mods added no value. depends on the underwriter and the insurance company. yes i pay more than i should but my insurers know everything i have done to the bike. mind you i still only pay £185 FC for a year and that includes all the bells and whistles with gear cover etc.etc

[shelleyamy]

Now sold.
Thanks for all the intrest and nice comments.

Yeah I know. I thought I'd be honest and tell them everything! Because it was TPFT I thought the same as you and I even said I would have it valued as standard so if there was an accident it would be repaired to stock but again he said he mentioned that and they still said no. Can only assume its my lack of experience. It's annoying as I would have thought it would make you safer if you had better suspension on the roads! I bet they would insure me on a gsxr750 that's standard albeit at prob 4 x the cost!

Which insurance companies do you guys recommend for this and what mods should be declared ...... So I stay legal of course :)

Thanks

Declare "uprated suspension and brakes", and see if they ask further.

Avoid phrases such as "oh some bloke I never met bodged on some GSXR bits off of eBay" :-P

Bikesure have been spot on with me about mods.

[pinpoint_uk]

Ha ha - thanks Chris, good advice.

Think I will stay fairly standard for a year or two. Need to keep costs down anyway and means easier to insure.
