My new ride

Postby wullieb1 » Wed Oct 14, 2009 12:19 pm

Well as of 4 weeks ago i could finally ride a bike with a capacity of more than 250cc.

I picked this little baby up for $1300 from eBay with the intention of keeping her for 6 months then getting rid and moving onto newer pastures. Unfortunatley i've grown quite attached to it so it looks like i'm going to be keeping her for a little while longer.

Plans are to

1. Paint the frame matt black.
2. Paint the fairings gloss black.
3. Paint the wheels in luminous orange.
4. Get the Kawasaki stickers in Orange.
5. Fit a single seat cowl, bike is already registered for single seater action. $250 rego each year.

Here she was when i got her. Still fitted with the rear race glass on the rear that was attached with one nut.

Took these this morning so i could get them sent to someone who may be doing me a deal on painting it.

I like the white too, and if it stops, turns and goes for $1300 you've done real well I reckon.

I agree, the white is great.
I am not usually a fan of white bikes but debadged it is extra clean and looks good.
x3 on the eBay price of $1300.
I could put that on my credit card!

Thanks folks. I've spent a little bit on it since then, think about $1800 in road worthy, rego, tyres and front discs.

I'm pleased and i think i mught even change the colour to white and not black lol.

White and orange and black now there's an idea... goes away to ponder

Well thefairings go away tomorow for spraying.

Decided on sticking with the white as mine is the only one i've seen up here thats, partially, white.

Lexus pearl white will be the final colour with hopefully orange wheels (still to decide on that though)

Going back to the UK for a few weeks as well so the bike won't get a run now until after christmas :-(

Pics will be up whe i get the bike finished.

Try painting the inside of the wheels white and polishing the outside edges. Looks more trick than the fluoro wheels. Good pick up for the price. :kuda:
