Default Re: Help Identifying a GSXR

I'm taking the pi$$ g33k boy

In fact I'd be interested in your flaco front wheel if you fit some RSV ones...

So long as it's italian-ness promises to keep it's white flag away from my chain...

I know... i cant hep myself... Sigh.

Sure, I dont know how soon Ill be able to find some nice RSV wheels... probably have to wait till the crashing season. Not a nice thought. Have to ask the insurance if they mind too.

But if all goes right then id be happy to sell on my Brembo wheels

Hmmm will see if I can find some SRADdy goodness for it... Doubt I will find another set of SRAD6 forks and yokes for £40 like the SV ones...

In an ideal world events would happen as follows:
Firstly you would sell the nicely spruced up Cagiva.
Secondly you would put those funds towards a nice Speed Triple.
Thirdly you might remove the SRAD forks from your SV and stick em on the gixxer
Fourthly I would have your SV - with standard forks cos I'm not fussy

However, in order for number 1 to take place, you must a) ensure I can ride the Cagiva to b) pass my CBT, then you can do what you wish. I don't know where you putting that CB500 engine will fit in...if that was what you wanted to put in it...probably got me numbers mixed up

Not a bad plan that one...

Nah just one letter off, but a big difference.
CB500 = horrible rat
Cr500 = mentalist 2t off roader.

But I'm not too attached to that plan because it would be totally unusable.

Acquired a GSXR600 K2 swingarm, shock and linkage. Frame will need modifying but with a big enough hammer it will fit.

SRAD750 forks on the way at some point...

I had a 1985 GSXR, scary handling and a very sphincter tightening high speed weave. They slapped tanks waaay before the TLS was thought to be a widow maker.
