Recently purchased my dream bike after years of looking and not actually being able to due to financial reasons. Found a 06 with right about 7,000 miles. Paid $4,700 for it and was on my way very happy with my purchase. Very clean and well maintained bike. Only real issue was a minor spot of rash from a very low speed lay down.
Well three days goes by and the worst thing imaginable happens. Guy in front of me suddenly changes his mind about making a left hand turn and gets back into the lane leaving me with no where to go and no room to stop. But i tried anyways. Was stopping good when all of a sudden the front tire washes out and I find my self on the way to the ground. I rolled a few times and pop up looking for my bike. It slide into the back of the truck. Not being able to pick it up and drive away I sit down pi$$ed at the guy in the truck and wait for the paramedics and police to arrive.
After leaving the hospital I return to asses the damages and it doesn't look good. But is fixable. Now time to make her exactly the way I want her
This is only the start. I am on a job working straight time for a while so may take a while to get her back together again. But sacking parts and doing some polishing till then.
Plans are polish frame, swingarm, wheels, & rearsets. Replace all bearings, fluids, filters, and plugs while she is torn down. Custom paint with air brushing and candy. Adding 6 inch stretch and new tires as well. Thanks to all that helped with parts an info. This site ROCKS.
So far I have I have a large pile of parts stackin up waiting. And have just finished polishing the frame. Will be updating this as I go. Will be slow but doing as much as possible while on a job and four hours away from home.
Sorry for the long post. Now on to the good part, pictures.
