Bud said:Looks like a nice find Jay! Hopefully you can get it fixed up without eating a big hole in your pocket. I didn't think I'd end up spending much to get the Silverwing project back in shape.....but I was way off on my estimate of what it would cost. Little stuff adds up! Why isn't it running. Is this fuel injected or does it have carbs?

rcannon409 said:That 01 gsxr is an amazing find. I had a neighbor selling a 1999 model. Not nearly as nice as yours, but he wanted 400.00 for it, and it did run...I still kick my own butt for not buying it.
Grant said:Nice find and gives me an idea.... ( But honey it's a rescue ) NAH nevermind I don't see that working out for me LOL...
Gumby said:It's like a breath of fresh air, a good ole' motorcycle thread. :great:
Sad it is not putting a new color on a Connie with 53 pages of pictures. :'(
Bud said:Any idea why it's not running?
Bud said:You chose your project well Jay! :great: Glad to hear that she fired right up. I'll never understand why people push something like that to the side and just let it sit. What's next on the list to get it back up in shape? Is there a valve check in your future?
LakeTrax said:Nice find man, especially with a clean title! :great:
Next thing you'll be doing iis digging out the old Gearnes and track suit..
Gumby said:$$$$ well spent my friend. Thanks for letting me take it for a rip, I will be smiling in my sleep.
Gixerhp said:Did you buy a left side yet?

Speaking of connies & new paint. Is your old C14 on the road or in a paint museum somewhere? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I sure wish I got a X-mas bonus to spend on building the stable. :truce:ZG said:I saw him just last week and he mentioned the new owner is considering selling it, so you never now maybe if the price was right I'd buy it back? :??:

gPink said:Looking good, J. Is there a light on that number plate?
Grant said:ahw you need to change your signature at the end of your posts, as it seems you have broken the code and found bad a** and cheap wraped in one package. :beerchug:
Cap'n Bob said:Another bike Jay? :
Still my hero. :great:
Diz said:so which one gets more miles- the viffer or the gixxer? As soon as I saw the rehab on the gixxer, I thought there might be a viffer for sale soon......
Grant said:Wow looks new at least in pictures... Nice very nice!
Bud said:Nice work Jay! So what's the total cost of this project?
ZG said:Gotta love the simplicity of the older bikes, feels great having a bike again that I can swap out my own bodywork without cringing about breaking tabs etc and dealing with 30+ pieces like the current bikes.
Scored a new to me upper fairing off ebay and swapped it out last night, that takes care of all the damage from the PO, dare I say she is done... :great: :great:
Happy New Year everyone, wishing you all the best in 2018! :49:
Just Cliff said:Seriously Jay, you can use wrench's all by yourself? :nananana: :rotflmao: :nananana:
Looking good buddy, nice job!
Cliff :beerchug:
Gscott said:You need to convert some of the house to more garage space!!! :beerchug:
Diz said:Last time he said he was going to move the recycling bin; a motorcycle service shop appeared. We all drooled...
Did you like the risers on the viffer ZG? Looks like the Gixxer would be more aggressive
Grant said:You're turning cheap and bad a** into expensive and more bad a** in short order! )
ZG said:Grant said:You're turning cheap and bad a** into expensive and more bad a** in short order! )
:truce: ;D
Diz said:Very nice ZG Glad you were able to snag the "Gixxer" plate :great:
Just Cliff said:ZG said:Grant said:You're turning cheap and bad a** into expensive and more bad a** in short order! )
:truce: ;D
That's just the way he rolls. Just wait till the new wing arrives.
Nothing short about Jay but his height! :nananana:
Cliff :beerchug:
Diz said:Really great rescue ZG! Now- have you loaned the keys to Gumby yet?
Grant said:Nice I like it, I also like the fact that you're motorcycle addiction is worse than my diesel truck addiction and it makes me feel better about myself :nananana: :rotflmao:
Grant said:Replacement's, spares, or are you going to build another bike???
Gumby said:Where was that picture taken at?
ZG said:Gumby said:Where was that picture taken at?
She's up at EDR, I had Eric play with the fueling as well since we went with the oem exhaust.

NYbiomed said:White rims look really great, but I love that CF Yoshi too!!
Gumby said:She looks good, dig the white wheels :great:
Diz said:She looks great! The white wheels really does make it look brand new from a throw back era. :great:
Gumby said:Holy $#%*, I just took this thing for a rip and it took 13 years off my life, I felt like I was 23 again.
Thanks for bringin'r by my friend. :beerchug:
Yep, bad math... BUSTEDGrant said:I have got to call BS I don't believe your math skills are that poor :nananana:
BTW I was totally overwhelmed at the Bun Cooler and meant to thank you in person for the issues of the Concourier you sent me. Thank you.
Grant said:I sure like what you have done with this bike :motonoises: In looking for custom ideas for my C-14 every time I find something I really like I find you have already been there done that like the summer sport screen I just ordered :great: maybe I should just bring you my bike and a budget and say surprise me )
NYbiomed said:All I can say is wow, better than new! I’d hardly have any doubts buying a bike from you ZG, you really know how to take care of your toys! Even tho you picked her up cheap, how much money do you think you have into it VS. what it could realistically sell for....not that you don’t have a track record of flipping your projects :-X
