And it's in not so good shape. - has been stunted for last 5 years or so. the guys nickname is 'crash"

Upon inspection- however- frame, swing arm and all structural stuff is well within tolerances. Motor runs good- needs clutch cover case to run again.

Bad news is- needs all plastics, including rear cowls and plastics and the tank itself and new seats.

Also needs new rims.

I got it cheap- so I will be returning it's former Glory.

Since I am here- I believe Colin Edwards raced these bikes, as did Nickey Hayden- and I understand they won quite a few races. Anyone have pics of the bikes- I would like to build a replica since I have to replace plastics anyway!

Can you tell me the best places to start looking at parts- engine parts and fork seals first actually-

Then IT IS ON- I plan on making this bike as modded as possible, race replica style- it will be my street AND track bike.

I have a custom bike building shop in Anchorage, Alaska, so, once I get some research done on this bike- I can finish it- if I have to, I can even build it a new Chrome moly frame and swing arm- but I would prefer not too!

It is a 2001 SP1, BTW.

Did these bikes go by the name of Fireblades too?

One place to check is RC51.org lots of tech info. Also since the moron trashed the front I would consider sending it off for revalving (made a HUGE difference on mine) Dan Kyle is out your way and very good.

You should search ebay for parts, you already know that. If not you should check out speedzilla.com they always got a bunch of Rc owners on there selling trading buying parts. And of course all the usefull info.

X2 on Dan Kyle. He's the best .

Well, this is odd- I belong to probably 50 motorcycle boards- and I can't figure out how to PM you- you can e-mail me direct if you wish at wldthing67@hotmail.com if you wish- there are SEVERAL parts I need ASAP to have this bike go down the road. If I can get it running safe and reliable- plastics or no, I will ride it this summer!

I really, really want to make this a Colin Edwards or Nickey Hayden replica-

anyone got any pics of Colin Edwards or Nickey Hayden's RCs?

You aren't allowed to PM until you've been a member for 14 days. It's an anti-SPAM measure.

[Cruisingram]

Sounds good too me! Still hope he e-mails me though!

[Maxsurgeon15]

I must say, you are very dedicated! I was whining when it was 45F!

[Motophoria]

I'll send you an email and some pics of my Nicky Hayden Replica in a moment.
