AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
My wife works for Scotts/Hyponex here in Jackson. We get all their products for free or highly discounted.....you would think we would have lawn of the month wrapped up, but.....
not a bad bike! pretty similar theme to my gsxr, i had a thread on here a while ago. i take it it was dropped, did you paint it yourself?
It has been "wrecked", and dropped twice.
The wreck involved the previous owners brother out goofing around. Had it turned and hammered down on the throttle causing the back tire to break loose. It slid on one side breaking a mirror and causing some panel damage, and stator cover scratches. Right as it came to a stop it flipped over, bending the brake handle and scratching the clutch cover.
The drops were both in a trailer, both the same night on both sides for being improperly tied down, which damaged the replacement fairings, and resulted in the primer job that you now see.
There is no fork or frame damage, but the guy I got it from says the back of the fairings look like Frankenstein's monster.
Apparently he did really well maintaining the balance of the bike as it rides well, even w/o hands.
I have a buddy who is a painter. He has offered to do any color for $200 so long as I remove the fairings and have all extra parts off and ready for him to prep. I would leave it primered black as I like the stealth look, except that it shows every fingerprint, bug, road grime, etc. and is impossible to keep clean.
