Well...I cant ride mine anymore, its in pieces tho.

After you give me your money... I have a Carbon Fiber wrapped tank, carbon fiber fenders and Performance Machine Chicane wheels. The fairings are beat up from me getting punted by a car, but everything else is great. I dont wanna part it out, but its in Va. and I wont get it here in Michigan till summer.

Does it still have the stock shock as in the pic?

Rearsets would be tits if the fucking bike wasn't already so hard on my knees... up an inch and back about half that, I'd imagine...

Those wheels lighter than stock?

In general, I'm on the lookout for: lighter wheels, aftermarket shock, belly pan and brackets, possibly front fender, rearsets that allow me to drop the pegs and draw them forward slightly... maybe an aftermarket steering damper if the deal's right... well, all this shit is if the deal's right LOL

The wheels are lighter, polished aluminum, the shock is a stocker thats been revalved and a different spring. The rearsets are ok, needs pegs and for a damper, use the stocker, replace the oil with 15wt, works like a pricey aftermarket unit. Belly pan is good on mine, front fender is carbon(GSXR I believe). I wont be down in Virginia Beach till after Christmas. The funny thing is I can get a yellow 2000 and a white 2001, just down the road for pennies on the dollar, a towing company by the beach picked them both up, but now I cant ride...Fuck.
