Hey guys, great forum here. I've been lurking and reading it for quite awhile now.
I'm looking forward to purchasing a RC51 soon and have a question on their market value. I've got first dibs on a private sale and they're asking $4k for a 2002 with 13k miles, Hotbodies undertail, and Jardine high mount slip-ons (aluminum cans).
It's been well maintained, service up to date by a dealer, and in pretty clean overall condition. Is this a fair price? Also, how is that Jardine exhaust? Barely any talk about them, seems like the Sato's get a whole lot more attention. Seems like most have been discontinued for awhile now. That full ti ladybird system looks so amazing haha. Maybe one day
I believe I have a set of engine bolts, plus shock linkage nuts & bolts from Pete, along with boxes of other tasty stuff to fit incl. some from DHC too.
Hoping to find time in the next couple of weekends.... told my wife I wanted to spend all of next weekend on the SP2, since I looked after the kids all weekend whilst she was out having fun with school friends.... Now it's my turn to play.
Finally an update to mention. Just got my fork tubes back from getting diamond like coating. I'll be sending them off next week to Kyle Racing for the 30mm Ohlins NIX cartridge upgrade.
The fork tubes currently have the OEM fork bottoms on, but will be replaced by the Style and Performance fork bottoms with radial caliper mounts.
Ahh well the fork tubes were diamond like coated to reduce stiction, much like titanium nitride but better. The black chrome look was just a side effect of the process. I did it for performance (however slight) vice vanity.
