Not all bike crashes are all bad.
« on: August 17, 2009, 11:14:39 PM »
About three years ago I crashed a GSXR750 m that I had had for about 10 years. I was always reluctant to get rid of it because I had spent a fortune on the motor. Now I've been spending money on it in order to keep it, I find myself sitting back looking at it admiring my vision and wondering what to do about bodywork to finish it. Feel free to throw in your 2 cents worth.

Do a ghetto mod, just leave it bare, slap the seat and tank on it and go.. :)

Red 2.5 gallon gas tank, rigged to provide fuel. Foam rubber duct taped to a piece of plywood for a seat, zip strip or duct tape those items on and your ready to roll. :rofl

The above modifications, plus one of those 8 ft tall fiberglass rods with a bright orange triangular plastic flag on the top, attached to the back of the bike.  You know, for kids.
