FS: 1997 XX Project Bike


Recommended Posts

I need to clear the garage and finance summer trips, so I have a few things up for sale.

One of them is a 1997 Honda CBR1100XX that has been crashed, and needs reassembly.

The bike was well taken care of by its owners, and it shows. Very nice condition other than the crash damage.

The fairings were smashed, gauge set, headlight, mirrors and fairing stay all destroyed. Some small scrapes and scratches consistent with road rash. It runs smooth and well, I've taken it down the road and it feels fine with smooth shifting and no wobble. The tank is unfortunately dented, but sound.

I have all the large parts to rebuild. Chinese fairings, headlight, mirrors, fairing stay, and rear frame extension as this one is tweaked a bit. I don't think I have a gauge set, but I will look for one. Throttlemeister not included.

The title is clear, not salvage. I have no proof, but I believe the bike had around 56,000 miles on it.

Looking for $2000 -- decreased to %1600 -- see following post.  I read all offers, because some of them are pretty funny.  Trades up or down considered, even though money is the best way to finance my vacations.  You might have something that just appeals to me.  No boats, though. 

I am traveling from Pennsylvania to Florida in March, and the bike could go to a convenient meet point along the way. Thanks for reading.

2/24 -- I started this up, took it for a ride, and found the following. 1. The clutch slips.  I believe the clutch rod needs to be removed and cleaned.  It wasn't slipping prior to this, so I doubt the clutch itself is the problem.  2. The forks seem slightly misaligned, which makes it steer a bit odd.  Looking at the tubes and the damage on the bike, I doubt very much that the tubes are bent. I can see that the triples are misaligned and expect that lining the front end up will take care of the problem. There's no impingement in the fork action or seal leak that would indicate a bend in the tubes.  For these reasons, I've decreased the price to $1600.
