Edit for NEW PRICE: $1500
NO TITLE - track only
Location: near Duluth, MN (yeah, I know, a long way from everywhere)
price: $1500
The story:
I bought this as a salvage (ran, no bodywork at all) last summer and spent a lot of the winter getting it ready for this year. I had it over at Road America a few weeks ago and I have decided to stick with my trusty 'ol SV for the time being. I only have a 1 place trailer so hauling two bikes means renting a trailer each time.
What you see in the pics is what you get. I have no extras, no street stuff, etc.
The new stuff I added:
AirTech bodywork (fellow at my work painted this with Omni 2part) with a Zero Grav. doublebubble shield
new EBS front rotors and EBS pads
new Bridgestone BT002's (2 "I" sessions on them at RA)
new Goodrich stainless front lines
Stomp grip tank pads
squishy grips
pretty much all safety wired (not professionally done - done by me )
The quirks:
front rim has a couple small bumps but not too bad, in my opinion
the frame mount steering damper is a bit hokey - I took it off for 2nd session
the fuel pump is not going anywhere as it has been permanently attached inside the tank (POR-15, I think)
the top of the tank has a bad paint blemish
the choke lever is now that black knob on the left frame
I had to add some last minute fairing stays at the track to pass tech
It has the infamous "Bee tail" but I would bet a later model tail would fit fine since there is no subframe left under there.
Here's the pics on my website:

So, anyone need a cheap backup track bike or something to throw around the track instead of your fancy new liter bike?
That's pretty much all I can think of right now.opcorn:
