So there is this nice, though wrecked, XBR on ebay, and I notice something is welded to the frame. Is this an aftermarket frame protector mount?

my $0.02

do not put a "protector" on that.

It will just rip off part of the frame/tank.

use the pucks.

4K with a salvage title? Good luck.

What you wouldn't pay that much for it?


It has only gone around on ebay about 4 times now, so I guess no one else will either.

I would pay $4k for that, salvage title and all, but not in that condition. Fix it then I will think about it.

Isn't that the 03 belt setup on there too?

Is every piece of cf busted?
$4k if it was completely fixed, maybe. When I called it nice, I meant it most likely was, before whateverthehell happened to it.

WOW ODO only reads 66 Mi! And I'm guessing it had rear sliders cause it seems as though the only external parts left untouched was the rear swingarm. Kinda cool I guess, but lousy orange paint job, and whats up with the non carbon oil cooler shroud and cutting a hole in a perfectly good scoop to weld on a mount

I would bet it was a track bike, which would explain the low odometer and the slider
mounts welded to the frame. That being the case I would also "wave off" of this one.
Race bikes get used HARD and put away wet. They also get crashed a fair bit. I would
also bet there is frame damage under the frame covers too. But that's just me.
