Owowow! That's a world of hurt I wouldn't even wish on a green! Glad you're doing better than your bike at least. Metal and plastic can be repaired, rebuilt or replaced.

divingtigger · August 30th, 2009, 07:23 PM

I actually bought it that way and am fixing it up

wayanlam · August 30th, 2009, 07:30 PM

how much do wrecks sell for?

here in indo hardly anyone has insurance on their biker or cars. we just fix up the bikes as best we can, unless its literally a crumbled piece of metal and plastic.

seems like the only thing left on that bike without serious damage might be the engine block, he he... good luck rebuilding her

SpyderGirl · August 30th, 2009, 09:57 PM

WOW, that's quite a project. Good luck on your rebuild.

andrewexd · August 30th, 2009, 10:02 PM

wow, good luck with your project.

divingtigger · August 31st, 2009, 08:24 AM

It was $1500 Canadian, those pics are after I tried to put it all back together to the condition that I bought it in. IT really wasn't that bad...mostly busted plastic.

I got it home stripped it down to get a look at it, only to find out that the integrity shop needed to see it in the condition it was bought in (or have pics at least) so I slapped it back together (not bolted or screwed but slapped)

Should be a good project though

Momaru · August 31st, 2009, 08:28 AM

Ahhh, glad to hear it. Very interested to see how it turns out. Are you planning to go back towards stock (fairings, etc) or street fighter style?

demp · August 31st, 2009, 10:18 AM

ouch, that looks like it hurt

cifex · August 31st, 2009, 10:53 AM

It doesn't really surprise me that a guy who puts a "Hustler" decal on his bike puts it down.

Good like with the bike. Hope you didn't get "hustled".

divingtigger · August 31st, 2009, 11:18 AM

In Manitoba the Insurance is Government owned and regulated, more often than not if you have a claim with your bike it is written off and the government has insurance auctions every week for the bikes/cars/quads/boats/trailers that were written off. There have been bikes that fell over at the auction with very little damage but those go for quite a bit

Strider · September 1st, 2009, 02:24 PM

Good Project Bike , Are you planning on doing the work yourself?
If so, Keep us updated with pics so we can see how the repairs go!

divingtigger · September 2nd, 2009, 10:22 AM

Yep doing it all myself. Today I replaced the Clutch and both throttle cables, I was going to do the choke one but it wasn't in that bad of shape, then I checked all the wiring and made sure it was in good shape and connected properly. I also put on the new exhaust header, new oil level glass and most of the body panels. Sat on it and played for a while couldn't help but start it up. It started up no problem only let it run for a couple seconds though, oil level was really low (old site glass was leaking really badly even though the glass wasn't cracked)

cifex · September 2nd, 2009, 07:21 PM

Someone who puts a sticker like that on their bike prob has a real need to "impress" people. Same kinda guy that will ride beyond their ability and get themself into trouble. IMHO......

Wow, that's awful. Sorry about that mate :-/

divingtigger · September 3rd, 2009, 06:52 AM

It is really coming together nicely so not a big deal

Ramen · September 3rd, 2009, 07:06 AM

That's pretty neat. Just that it starts up is cool to hear. Do you plan on doing any modifications while you're working on it?

divingtigger · September 3rd, 2009, 10:23 AM

It was the coolest thing, I almost let it run for longer but I am too responsible for that right now.....not only because of the low oil level but because of the muffler not being on yet....but ya I was happy sitting there on it with the engine going.

Was going to do some mods on it, but I'm not sure that I'm keeping it yet, life is happening again and while it was planned, not too sure if a bike is practical for this stage

gizmogamez · September 3rd, 2009, 12:40 PM

glad to see it coming along

Moto13 · September 4th, 2009, 05:44 AM

Looks like you have your work cut out for you, but it sounds like it's going to be fun. Are you riding something else in the meantime?

divingtigger · September 4th, 2009, 06:45 AM

Other than some friends bikes every so often, I'm not riding at all. This is the second bike I've owned and the first one was sold almost 12 years ago. having a real good time with this, might even pick up another insurance auction bike later on

cifex · September 4th, 2009, 07:25 AM

Whoa! That thing has some serious "highway tire" going on!

divingtigger · September 4th, 2009, 09:13 AM

Ya I have a feeling Mr. Hustler liked locking the front brake and pining the throttle

edwinmcq · September 4th, 2009, 09:36 AM

A Shamwow and some Miracle Orange will clean that puppy right up!

divingtigger · September 4th, 2009, 09:42 AM

Tried the Miracle Orange to clean up the used fairings I got with little luck, should have used the shamwow....that was the missing part of the equation
