Member Contributer digitallyhip Posted October 29, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted October 29, 2015 I am considering parting out my Canadian 2003 w/ABS. The bike was written off in a rear-end collision and my hopes of putting it back on the road have not translated into action. Good:The motor is strong and consumes no oil. The front end is completely intact. The titanium Leo Vince exhaust is marked on the right cannister, but intact (and I LOVE the sound). I have bought replacement right side footpeg brackets and a taillight assembly. Bad: The bodywork is rough. The luggage hardware is bent beyond saving. Possibly bad and why I am considering parting:When I went to remove the R&G sliders, I could not convince the bolt that replaces the front engine mount to slide out. That's never been an issue, so I am thinking that the frame may have been bent when impact occurred.What I am doing today is checking to see what demand there is for 6th gen parts in Canada. I'd like to sell everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted October 29, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted October 29, 2015 :-( Actually I might be interested in some parts. Maybe some body work (nose cowl and the inside plastic part thatbwrap around side panels and Coke up by handle bars?) and maybe other stuff if I have some time to think about it. C How about make a track bike out of it? Or put knobby tires and dirt bike??? Better yet: work or art, display it in the living room?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR Yeah, I wanted to see if there was any point, so saw it as a temperature taking rather than a "for sale" posting. If I've broken the rules, I'll delete.

I might be interested in it for the track.... That would be EXCELLENT! I'd love to keep it in one piece, as it has been a lovely motorcycle. I don't mind saying I am very emotionally attached to it.

Baileyrock Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 There is interest, so I would just post it up as a complete bike w/salvage title and sell away. I'm closing this thread now. Good luck BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
