wrecked the sh1t out of my bike!

Post by wingysataday »

About 70mph on the freeway. I was wondering if there were any interchangable parts with other bikes. I heard something about the 900rr. Here is what is totaled:
front forks
rear wheel
right radiator
clutch reservoir
all fairings
headlight
gauge cluster
gas tank (no holes though, just ugly)
clutch cover on engine
handle bar ends
both levers
front fender
windshield
cruise control thing
right side down pipe and white bros pipe.(yeah the most expensive one they make, but muffler might be repairable)
maybe clutch and brake perch
thats it so far. I only had the bike for 3.5 weeks tough sh1t. I need to get all of this as cheap as possible. So I'm watching ebay. Plus I don't have a job. :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x Any suggestions Please.

With a list like that, sounds like you'd be better off buying another bike on Ebay and using yours for a donor. I've seen several in the 3-4K range on there lately. Your list will easily top that.

I had a wreck with my bike with similar results. Good luck!

Here is what I did-

front forks I got the entire front end, wheel, brakes, etc. for 929 and fitted it. Much easier to source than VTR bits. Only snag is that it requires some elbow grease and bar risers for a 929
rear wheel I heard that a F4i unit will fit, but not sure.
right radiator Ebay for sure
clutch reservoir Same as RC51, NOT VFR
all fairings I bought an entire kit when it came up on Ebay, fiberglass sucks, IMO
headlight Ebay, specific to VTR
gauge cluster Ebay, or I ordered only the outside case.
gas tank (no holes though, just ugly)
clutch cover on engine
handle bar ends if these are ugly, odds are you need new bars.
both levers get new, from honda. other brands are lesser items IMO
front fender Ebay!
windshield bought a new one from Zero gravity and painted lower section to look stock, clarity is much better.
cruise control thing No clue what you are talking about
right side down pipe and white bros pipe.(yeah the most expensive one they make, but muffler might be repairable) No cheap way round this one!
maybe clutch and brake perch Ebay, use brake bits off of a 929/954/RC51 and the brake action will be better

You know the Austin Powers movies? I have always wanted to date someone like Allota Fagina... but I always seem to date her sister Sandy.
