Title: New boy
Post by: J111oer on Sunday, 04 August 2019, 08:59 PM
Hi Guys. I've just broke my gsx1400 virginity and picked up an 03 with lowish mileage.

She's a bit rough around the edges though. No MOT, exhaust system rotten, paintwork's not great and chrome all pitted, few electrical bits not working like horn back brake pedal doesn't light the brake up etc.

Hoping to get an exhaust system ordered asap and get the little bits working then get her MOT'd and out on the road. So if anyone can recommend where to get a decent 4-2 exhaust system from rapido, I'd be grateful  :grin:

My last bike was an R6 which I had for 5 years but fancied something that I can do some nice long runs on and do some sight seeing without the back ache from the sports bikes.

Is there anyone else from around York?

I have a full set of 2001 exhaust that were removed from the bike prior to starting. Are they worth anything ?  :whatever: :whatever:

@GSXKING  Like new condition would be worth 500€/800AU$ to me. Might give it a try to sell at that price.

Yep, plenty!  Snapey will probably take them off your hands - he's a collector (and user) of these.
