Glad it all worked out and hope you don't have any recurring pain which you should have gotten paid for also (pain & suffering). Be careful on the scooter as they are even harder to see then a motorcycle and don't forget to get in the habit of toggling the high-low beams at every intersection it can make a big difference.

Things worked out fairly well. They only slightly lowballed me, but I was able to provide as many receipts as I could for any parts or work done, which made the check bigger and bigger. I would have settled with the girl for $1900, but her mom was being a cow (offered $1100), so I let her insurance pay me :D Eventually got $2022 out of them. Bought the bike back for $370. Already got that investment covered :D Replaced the Bandit with a Honda Ruckus for scootin my way around town - still miss having a real bike though...

Do you still have the L/R footpegs/shifter/brake (rearsets, I think theyre called)? I might be interested in them...just as backups.

Thanks!

The right side pegs got trashed in the accident, and the left front peg assy got sold.

I am updating the original post with sold info as we go, so keep checking the list.

did you see, you had a pm

Krautwagen · « **Reply #63 on:** May 17, 2007, 04:09:59 PM »

Yup, sorry. I would really like to avoid shipping the exhaust overseas, but I will try to find a box for it and get an estimate...

Krautwagen · « **Reply #64 on:** May 17, 2007, 06:07:19 PM »

Looks like overseas shipping costs $150 to $200

Hi, do you still have the triple trees?

I'm after the lower one with the sterring stem, if its:

1) available

2) in good condition

Krautwagen · « **Reply #66 on:** May 18, 2007, 12:34:55 PM »

Yup, I've still got them. How's $40 shipped (US) sound?

GooseMan · « **Reply #67 on:** May 18, 2007, 01:39:48 PM »

Oh! What about the taillight? Still got that?

Sounds like a blimmin' bargain.

I am in New Zealand, though, so factor that into your shipping.

Also, is that the price for both triples?

EDIT: remind me what year your bike is as well, please.

El Dopa, it's a 92. I'll have to check on shipping to NZ. Not sure - think $30 would cover shipping?

GooseMan, taillight is yours for $25 shipped (US) - let me know.

Here's some exhaust pics for those wondering. It looks horrible in the pics. The header definitely could use some sanding/blasting and a coat of paint, but the can is fine. Includes the T-bolt clamp, the hanger clamp, and the locating pin for the 2 (keeps alignment of header and muffler).

Herr Tod · « **Reply #71 on:** May 19, 2007, 12:32:19 PM »

Good headers, take the bike up to the rev limiter before you know it.... if that can is dumped, very restrictive

Banditmax · « **Reply #72 on:** May 19, 2007, 07:13:48 PM »

They look very similar to standard headers but now looking again i realise there arent any of those silly bolts just below the inlets.

Herr Tod · « **Reply #73 on:** May 19, 2007, 07:48:31 PM »

Different length, no balance pipes, light steel, better collector, more ground clearance, sepperate mid pipe and a very nice sound with a different end can

Krautwagen · « **Reply #74 on:** May 22, 2007, 11:37:27 PM »

Any reasonable offers???
