Nice find. Around here any bike for $280 comes as a milk crate of parts. And btw, your link doesn't work.

Sorry guys the link may not work because it was while i was in buyers login.

If that doesnt work i cant get you into the auction details.Its a 87 cbr600f.
Runs well according to previous owner.Starts first crack etc.The guy is stockcar driver so knows his way arround vehicles.
The fairings front are there also but damaged not beyond repair but i will strip her down semy nude.
Replace leaking fork seals and sell her as post classic junior bike.

Thinking this fairing top would adapt in there.
Wont be SBUTLER sexy bike but more the pre89 bruizer.

Got the cbr home last night.got her running good.
Have started striping the road gear away and modified wiring.
The good news is for seals were good but dust seals are toast so goot some coming.
The rev counter unit no good.Not sure if i will sell without or get coil monitor rev counter unit.
Got to keep the cost down to increase profit.
The fairings and tank are rattle can painted.may get my painter mate to repaint.(again costs need to warrent this)Will do if i think i will gain money when selling it.
The rear section (fairings )are shot and ugly so looking for race tail to install.
Have found tail and front top race fairing.Trying to convince them to freight them.They are red so may paint whole bike if i get them.

Will keep you guys posted.Build cost so far includes purchace $300usd and rising.
