feliks Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Got such a sweet deal on a bunch of parts for the FZ today! Kid was super nice, he got hit off his and didnt' want to risk putting it back on the road with a bent frame, so he parted it out, along with his other parts bike...so I got: 2 x Complete engines (one with full wiring harness including ignition key lock) - they both have their issues, but between the two there are tonnes of parts 4 into 2 into 1 exhaust with an aftermarket muffler of some type ( pipes from an XJ maybe? FZ has a 4 into 1 ) Ignition controller Almost brand new chain Gauge cluster Entire body fairing set (one damaged) Front brake system Two handlebar signal switch clusters Almost new interstate battery Brand new clutch pack Box of misc bolts and shit which will always come in handy! and the ever sought after but hard to find rear seat cowl! All for less than $300! A steal if you ask me....I did have to drive 2 hours through fog to get there but it was worth it for sure.

Moderator drewpy Posted January 11, 2014 Moderator Posted January 11, 2014 those seat cowls fetch ££$$ worth the foggy drive 1
feliks Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 I don't think I've ever seen a seat cowl for sale, other than the airtech aftermarket one. I got two things done at once and met someone up there to sell some of my old Felix Potvin goalie pads for $200 - pretty much covered the cost of parts. Love how things work out sometimes!
blackhat250 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 You jammy mounty" hope the posty has a snow cat,,, 1
Tommy xs Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Well done Feliks, the ignitor's worth nearlly half that on it own! super score 1

dt502001 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I think Blackhat tinks your getting it posted to you? NICE SCORE. One of them motors has to be good,for at least a back up.
feliks Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Oh yeah I can salvage one good motor out of the two, and have some spare parts in the end!
rzresurection Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Super score. You got lots of nice goodies outta that transaction. It was worth the foggy treck. Gonna have to see all this stuff in person at some point.
feliks Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Heck yeah man! I'm hoping to start putting everything together next weekend, should have all my gaskets and misc parts from the Yamaha dealer by then, and with these parts I'll be all ready to go! Well...tires too, but those will be next paycheque, or the one after that..... funds shrink fast when you start buying parts! lol Deals help though.
slice Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Nice one Feliks it's always nice to have a bin full of spares and nut's and bolts are worth there weight in gold sometimes. JAMMY = LUCKY. POSTY = POSTMAN/WOMAN SNOWCAT = REALLY !!!!! 1
sniff6 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Talk about jammy, even twice what you paid would still be a bargain....nice one Feliks now get it finished.!!!! 1
feliks Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 LOL yeah I got the mounty part... it was the rest I was having trouble translating. You guys are hilarious! lol
Grouch Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Well done Always nice to see someone getting a bargain. Parts are a right rip off, especially if you buy from a dealer.
feliks Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks! Yeah it kinda makes up for the $400+ I'm about to drop in gaskets and other parts to put everything back together! lol
