Write off's
Do anyone know where you can find a list of repairable write offs? How do you go about finding this sort of thing out?
As I'm still looking for a ZX7 or ZX6 I can turn into a tracky.....
Cheers

Re: Write off's
I found one damaged ZX6, but the frame looks rooted. It appears to have a hole in it.
How do you go about getting these things assessed and / or repaired?

Re: Write off's
make when looking at write-off that they are "repairable" not "Statutory" write-off's if you ever want to register - otherwise frames can rarely be fixed if they are written off - unless you are happy to bog!!
source two bikes to make one - or look for a frame at wreckers

Re: Write off's
I reckon it's often cheaper to buy an existing tracky, rather than buy a wreck and convert it into a tracky. The costs can really add up. It's one thing if you budget for a set of race glass, some rearsets and bars, only to find the forks are bent and the frame isn't straight as well - the budget just got blown!

Re: Write off's
That bike is seriously rooted, if you have a look at the swingarm there would more than likely be damage to the main frame etc as well.ijuschill wrote:Found this one on ebay, it's an 09 6r with rear end damage

That one would require a total strip down & probably new frame, subframe & swingarm....... hardly worth the effort
