Stripping  the RC51 naked to inspect and clean prior to selling.

 

 

What do you think is the best livery to sell her?

 

OEM

Or CASTROL HONDA?

Say it ain't so Dutchy!

 

Sorry to see that great SP-2 go on the block. The original bodywork and colors will sell better but of course I prefer the Castrol livery.

What you are selling your baby ? 
Castrol for sure, but if you have both sets of panels, then both 👍

The caps/bolts on top of the forks are made from a soft metal and the insides have seen better days

Used a thread file and wound some gas tape on the bolt. Put 70-90W gear oil in, 110cc instead of 90.... :wheel:

I would buy it  but I'm all the way over in Australia. Seems like an absolute bargain.

 

What's the odometer say?

Done 65k km's.

Yeah, shipping down under would be prohibitive.

'KING Aliexpress.

 

Upon ordering I spelled out I need a LH and  RH. So TOP reads TOP/the drainhole faces down on either side correctly.

 

Well.... 🤮

The old nonYusa was getting dodgy. Better fut a new one prior to selling..

Got few lowballers, nothing serious just yet.

I got no interest when offering the SP2 for sale with all the special parts fitted. So am making her stock again...

 

 

So out goes the Ohlins HO204 and in goes the crap OEM shock....

What are you asking for the Ohlins? Interested, pm me.

 

Seems here in the US fully stock RC's are commanding premium pricing.
