I got this for $200 and only really wanted it for the clutch basket assembly (slipper clutch) and the rear shock (preload adjustable) to fix / upgrade the 250. Don't be fooled - that picture makes it look good - heaps of stuff was FUBAR'd
So after I took the bits off it I stripped the rest down to the frame and kept a box of things that were OK ....and dumped the rest..
Kept the motor and frame as there was no write-off status (IE: clean title)...
Anyway, being a slack ass I never ended up offloading or selling the stuff - and low and behold a guy puts a statutory write-off bike with some rear end damage up on marketplace for very little dollars...so I snapped it up
It had been smacked up the rear...
Buckled wheel (not out of round though) but I have a spare from red bike....
And the fairings had a few cracks...
Anyway I put the rear indicators / bracket on from the red carcass (and a plate from another bike
)
And put the red bike muffler on because... A) that pissy little thing it had on it was loud.... B) it was held on with hose clamps....and C) I wasn't wanting to attract unwanted attention...
I know, I know - I can't find my paddock stand
I think I lent it to someone... 
Took it for a spin and it's REALLY sweet. The Statutory Write-off rules here are pretty harsh - if there is ANY suspected damage to the frame it will be deemed a stat write-off and that VIN frame cannot be re-registered. Hence this thing was cheap. I think they suspected the rear end was bent when it got hit (it's not). Anyway, I have a CLEAN frame from red bike and I am allowed to use the engine from the stat write-off bike (I might throw the red bike engine it there to see if it runs).
So - now the fun begins with stripping it down to a bare frame and re-building it on the other frame.
It's OK - I'll drink some beer while I'm doing it
I might end up keeping this one for my daughter as it's actually nicer to ride than the 250.
More pics to come but like anything I end up doing in the shed - don't hold your breath....
