Author Topic: Tank Bra Anyone? (The Perfect Christmas Gift!) (Read 4327 times)

I'd like to start selling off some stuff to fund my crack addic... I mean TRACK addiction. Well, I thought about it until I realized that I don't have much stuff to part with! If anyone is interested in stock mirrors or signals, let me know.

I will sell my tank bra. It's in near perfect shape. It's the Lockhart Phillips one - not the Suzuki one. I really like it for riding with jeans. It helps your knees grip the tank. I'm not riding without leathers much anymore so I don't really have a use for it.

It came with the bike so I have no idea how much it is worth. Say $30 plus shipping which should be about $4 via USPS priority mail? US only, please (right, Echo?)!

Thanks.

That's right! Sell all the street stuff off it. The lights, turn signals, the shock. Cut the frame. Get some suspension, front and rear. Get a Yosh can and some new Pilot Powers. Lose all the gauges except your taco. You'll need clip ons and rear sets and then some sprockets and chains. Oh, you'll need some safety wire too.

See ya at the track . . . . . addict.

Yeah - it's funny... I had nice woodcraft clipons and I sold them for these Suburban Machinery bars. They're nice but if I'm gonna be doing more track time....

For all the more I've been riding, I should strip it down as a track bike. I think I've only done about 2K miles this year so far.

BTW Garyola, been meaning to ask - how is that fairing attached anyway?

(Hmmm... hyjacking my own thread for a change!)

Yes, go track bike.

The guy who owned the bike before me, raced it in the light weight class. He had a lot of stuff made up for it. The fairing is on with a custom made bird cage. It fits pretty well.

I'd be interested in the stock mirrors if they are in decent shape. How much would you like for them shipped to 38635 ?

Wow Garyola, snazzy looking bike!

And cool photos on your site.

Mirrors gone.

(shamless bump)

Wow - like I said, I didn't know how much the bra is worth but I thought it would go pretty quickly since I don't think anyone sells them anymore...

I'm right on the edge of being able to swing one more track day this year. $25 shipped takes it. Hey, it's less than Jay's pipes!

Still have the stock signals too.

Oh, I have the stock headlight/signal bracket in great shape too.

How 'bout an adorable pair of kids - 8 year old boy and a 5 year old girl... best offer for the pair!!! LOL! (wow, that's not right!).

So are some complete bikes, but then, those pipes are the definition of awesome.

Hmm, I'll give you $50. I know a few people who might be able to part them out on the black market (Gah! Thats -really- not right!)
