Well I placed a deposit on a damaged 07 ZX10R

I think it was a silly buy and I ended making an offer because I got pissed off at ebay because I lost a phone auction but oh well. It will give me something to do on the weekends

$4500, Good buy or bad buy? I think it will be an easy fix.

I'll post my progress...

UPDATE 1: 8/6/2010

Well got it last Friday, I have removed all the damaged parts and am either fixing them or throwing them out.

So far everything mechanical is good, there was a cut indicator wire but that has been fixed. I have since bought a front nose cone and right side fairing for under $100 in red to save me some spraying/money although one is scratched and I'll touch that up. It also came with brand new Pilot powers still with the waxy stuff on it.

Here's a pic with everything damaged off (except the scratched tail).

Spent so far $4590

Still need:
Headlight
Gauge/mirror bracket stay
Rear sets
Steering damper
Left side fairing plus left belly pan
Rubber grommets and some bolts
Screen
VIV check
Aluminum radiator hose section
Overflow bottle

Road - the other side of the bike looks bad but close up it has not got any munched up wires or marks on the frame. I'm hoping just a new set of fairings, lights, rear sets, and other little parts should fix it.

agreed.I had a good blat mates one with a set of Akra's and i was shitting myself.

i found it heavy to maneuver though, i think he set his steering dampner too high. or maybe i'm just a shit cunt.


yeah, i think i was just a shitcunt.

Do these come stock with a steering damper? I didn't seem to see one on this one:-/

Should cut some holes in your frame. Extra Air Ram and all that...

pretty sure it does dude. and you can probably bet if it was removed prior to this crash, that it was the reason it's rashed up in the first place

Whoa just looked some up on ebay and they up to $1200 Buy It now. I'll see if I find an auction with one.

RE: Crash damaged ZX10R

I'd be doing it for a track bike, but $4500 seems alright.

Just replace it with any dampener you can get imo. Look at the mounts and fab an adapter if you need to.

Total waste of loot to replace it with the factory item imo.

would probably hurt resale if you replaced it with something with a shitter name.

Yeah because a crash repaired zx10r is going have a seriously awesome resale value...

Shitter name is all relative..

GPR/Scotts/Arrow/Ohlins/Hyperpro are all in roughly the same performance bracket.
