GSX-R 750 -> pre-binned and ready to streetfighter
Afternoon all,
lovely day out, ****3 day to be mouling yer **** to the office chair though. Anyway on a menader through the internet I came across this lovely looking slighlty crumpled 2005 GSX-R 750 that's in a bike salvage place, looks like it'd be a kick **** strrtfighter project for someone with a bit of skill. [note: I don't work for the business in question before I get tagged!] Enjoy it. http://www.rsmotorcycles.co.uk/pages/SUZUK34.html |

Last I looked (and I may be wrong) the headstock was a fairly vital part of the frame. |

Could the crack be repaired or does it need a new frame

(Although, I'll have that front end.) How do you crack the head stock BTW? By driving into something? Does that mean that the forks are probably knackered too? |

USD forks are pretty stiff, so a frontal impact with the forks surviving and the frame being damaged is quite possible.
If the headstock is cracked it should be off the road. A lot of insurance companies like the headstock cut off and returned when they scrap a bike. It's a good policy but the smaller companies don't do it. So sometimes a total death trap ends up back on the road. |
