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..

Re: Crashed Gixxer - Rebuild
If all the running gear is straight you've got a bargain there.

Re: Crashed Gixxer - Rebuild
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.. |

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. |
