Crashed Gixxer - Rebuild
 
Very excited..

I've bought my mates GSXR-600 after he threw it into the side of a car (that pulled out on him).

He's just dropped it off with the aid of his mate and his van.

Winter project, here we come.

Pics to follow.. :D

If all the running gear is straight you've got a bargain there.

Hope so :)

All the plastics are broken / scratched (with the exception of the rear seat cover) and the front sub frame is broken.
I'm unsure about the forks at the moment, but I don't know if it's an optical illusion because of how the fairing is hanging off. I hope to get it stripped back this weekend so I can have a good look at it.

Stay tuned..

If you want to pop over to halifax with them I can get the DTI and V blocks on them and tell you for sure.

+1 on that Tom!
even by eye you'll not know for sure if they're straight or not.
last thing you want to do is find out only after you've spent a load of time and money rebuilding it only to stuff it at the first highspeed bend.
