c1run1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hello , Is it worth restoring ? Not work my bad . A friend of mine gave me this bike , i'm not sure where to begin . It needs a complete over hall . Looking it over with out even trying to start it i can see it's going to need alot of work . It's been sitting out side for 4 or 5 years , plus it was sitting at some back yard bike shop for who knows how long . As it is i have other projects that are in front of this so i'm in no rush . I'll just buy parts here and there to start . But is it really worth it ? i don't see many of these bikes around but i also have not looked very long either . Are parts hard to find ? your 2 cents will be well considered . Thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilninggas Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I ride an FZr1000 and that looks like a sound basis fo a project - but be awae you may have to spend quite a bit for a full restoration. If it was me i would be looking to it over a year with a top-end rebuild, caliper rebuild (funnily enough thee are some refurbed gold calipes on ebay at the mo), cab rebuild and full suspension rebuild. plus new c&s kit, wheel beaings etc. Go for it, but get eady to use ebay a lot!
