After you give me your money... I have a Carbon Fiber wrapped tank, carbon fiber fenders and Performance Machine Chicane wheels. The fairings are beat up from me getting punted by a car, but everything else is great. I dont wanna part it out, but its in Va. and I wont get it here in Michigan till summer.

So what are you trying to say... I can give you money, but you don't want to part it out?

Does it still have the stock shock as in the pic?

Rearsets would be tits if the fucking bike wasn't already so hard on my knees... up an inch and back about half that, I'd imagine...

Those wheels lighter than stock?

In general, I'm on the lookout for: lighter wheels, aftermarket shock, belly pan and brackets, possibly front fender, rearsets that allow me to drop the pegs and draw them forward slightly... maybe an aftermarket steering damper if the deal's right... well, all this shit is if the deal's right LOL

The wheels are lighter, polished aluminum, the shock is a stocker thats been revalved and a different spring. The rearsets are ok, needs pegs and for a damper, use the stocker, replace the oil with 15wt, works like a pricey aftermarket unit. Belly pan is good on mine, front fender is carbon(GSXR I believe). I wont be down in Virginia Beach till after Christmas. The funny thing is I can get a yellow 2000 and a white 2001, just down the road for pennies on the dollar, a towing company by the beach picked them both up, but now I cant ride...Fuck.

Did some work...

Used masking tape and cardboard to box in my subframe to make a tray for the ECU and battery out of fiberglass... total hack job:

Turned out way better than expected - first fiberglass anything:

I'm going to fill the gaps in on the sides with AL sheet, so you won't see how ugly it is...

Also extended five wires in the wiring harness about 18 inches, to allow for the gauge cluster mounting I want... Here it is set up, but it'll be up on the tank a bit more and the angle is off... it's just resting there:

Couldn't resist snapping some shots of her all mocked up:
