Nothing to see here.......

Came off a 2005 Shadow 1100, my dad bought the bike used and didn't like how loud these pipes are. The front heat shield has some minor scuffs in it, but I didn't even see them until I was under the bike unbolting the pipes.
Give me $150 local pickup or $150 + $40 to box them up well and ship anywhere in the US, ground.

Thanks. Would look even better in your driveway...

Bike's off the market for now. Sorry!
I changed the title to please delete in the hopes that one of 2 things happen.... a mod delete's it or it becomes a porn fest.

Shame on you for letting him ride it!
Looks like a great deal, and will an awesome commuter bike.Yeah I know but oh well.
-
My bike. It's been thru some tough times....
-
As far as price, I think I paid $150 shipped for them. I paid $210 for non-motorized H7's for the XX less than 2 years earlier, so the prices have gone down condsiderably.

I have the solenoid driven HID bulbs (H4 base) in my Concours-14, so far they have worked perfect.

A quick update since I saw this thread was on the first page here...
Removed the tank a few weeks ago and removed the float, petcock, etc. Filled it with a gallon of muriatic acid, about a gallon of CLR, and 100 stainless #8 X 3/4" screws. Made some interesting vapors, and got pretty hot as I was shaking it. Killed a nice sized patch of my back yard grass as well. But it got the tank pretty clean inside, rust appears to be all gone from where I can see inside. Screws were fairly easy to get out thru the float hole. Rinsed it out for about 30 minutes with a hose just running into it, then dried with acetone and filled with fuel after putting back on the bike. Keeping it completely topped off at all times when parked to hopefully keep the rest from reappearing. there's a gas station 1.1 miles from my house so it's easy to keep the tank full after a ride.
Been running great, haven't ridden it much but my wife took it out for a few rides with me and she likes it a lot, says it's very comfortable for her and she likes riding it.

I've heard the same thing about Kreem, after reading up on it it sounds like that if you don't get the prep exactly right (ALL rust gone, ALL oil/fuel/whatever residue gone) the Kreem will start to flake off in large chunks, causing a bigger problem than you started out with in the first place. I'm going to try to just clean it out as best I can with traditional methods, including nuts / bolts / chains in the tank with a rust dissolving solvent like KLR or whatever, and be happy with whatever results I get. I've been cleaning out the fuel filter after every few runs, and each time there is much less crap in it than before. The tank just has surface rust, doesn't look like there is any really deep rust that would start to cause leakage problems or anything like that. Just crap getting in the fuel line, hopefully all getting caught by the filter I installed (according to Kawi parts guy, when I tried to buy a replacement filter, this bike has no fuel filter, and a $30 air filter!!!!)
Took the little fucker in to work today, man it really screams on the highway, over 6000R at 80MPH (just keeping up with traffic onthe A.C.E.). It's running absolutely perfect now, even the little burble / sputter I had just off idle has worked itself out, been using seafoam and Sunoco Ultra so I guess it helped clear out the low speed circuits. The one place I didn't get to when cleaning the carbs was the low speed needles, they still had the factory block off plates over them and I didn't want to mess with them just yet if I didn't have to. It is suprisingly smooth, even cranking along at 6000R on the expressway it's smooth as silk, no buzzing or vibration. And the way it's geared, it pulls to 12,000R in 1st and 2nd amazingly fast, it's a ton of fun to ride especially on the back roads here in south NJ.

The Audiovox CS-100.

Absolutely mint, garage kept, adult ridden 2003 CBR1100XX. Purchased new in late 2005, on road only 2 years. Completely stock with exception of electronic cruise control and HID hi / lo headlamps, and two 12V power ports in dash. Pipes also slightly modified, sound good, not loud. Photos speak for themselves, you'll be hard pressed to find a cleaner, more loved for XX. Just ask my wife.....
$5995. Any questions just let me know. Available to be shown any time, absolutely positively no test rides.
Thanks...
That's Right, $5999

Bargain!
I hope you have a great time on it. It sure is fun to ride a small bike once in a while. Great work on getting it all fixed up too. 
Edit: Forgot to ask, How did you fix the dirty tank?
I'm not using "reserve" which is keeping most of the shit out of the fuel line. I'll try CLR and a couple chains over the winter, going to ride the piss out of it for now.
-
Well, here she is, all cleaned up and fixed up. Running great, did about 150 miles today spread over 2 rides. Not too bad for free....
Apparently there is no rev limiter because I accidentally buried the needle waaay past the 11,500 redline more than once (like 12,500 - 13,000). 
Gotta be careful with that. Fun to wind the gears out and not be going completely ballistic like on the XX, plus this thing turns like a bicycle compared to the blackbird...

It LIVES!
Yanked the carbs off, sure enough there was shit in all the bowls and some more shit in the seat in carb 3. Cleaned it out, reassembled, started it up, runs great in the garage and no more leaking.
I accidentally pulled the #4 plug wire out of the boot that goes to the plug. I stuck it back in as tight as I could and taped it.
Took it out on the road for about 5 miles and opened it up from a stop to about 60mph. No more burbling from off idle anymore, great throttle response. Has a slight miss now that it didn't have before, likely from the wire I fucked up. Still pulls very well and is 100% smoother and more powerful than the first ride I took on it about a week ago. Idles nicely at about 1250R.
The tank is a problem. The crap in the carbs was my fault, I ran it without a fuel filter for about 10-20 minutes after I did the carbs. I put a new see thru fuel filter in line to the carbs Sunday evening. Today when I took the carbs off the filter was LOADED with rust chunks and other crap, from a total of about 30-60 minutes of running, probably a gallon or two thru it. Popped open the tank and looked in, there are what looks like rust spots all over the inside of it. Figures. Sat for 4 years, probably with a minimal amount of watery fuel. Guess I'll be scouring ebay for a tank.
Got the title today, will insure and register it Friday. Yes, now that I mentioned that, what you're thinking about the rides I've been taking is true.........

I'm currently putting a 2004 ZZR600 (aka ZX6E) back together. I think it's same bike as yours. Lemme know if you have any questions or need photos or anything, maybe I can help.
Thanks, this is a ZX600C. The 600D and 600E are similar to each other but different from the C. The C has an old school steel tube frame that goes over the motor, not the square aluminum perimiter frame of the ZZR600. I like the looks of the ZZR, very similar to the ZX11's with the flush mount signals.
I wish these carbs were easier to R/R. The problem is the connection to the airbox, the airbox can't be removed without removing the engine, or using a sawzall. So it's a ton of twisting and manipulating of the rubber boots on both sides of the carbs. I found individual pod filters for as little as $12 each, but they would require rejetting, probably a stage 3. And the bike won't run with the airbox disconnected so I can't even test the carbs without reassebbling everything. Pain in the ass.
-
for the record, we do give a fuck about your progress.
the little rubber tipped valve on the float is called a needle and comes as a set with the seat that it goes into. may have just got a piece of crud stuck in it though.
keep up the good work. its a great project.
Thanks. I knew the thing in the slide was called a (main) needle, thought the thing in the bowl was a needle too but it's been so long since I did a jet kit, or anything in a carb for that matter, I forgot.
Really starting to appreciate the FI bike now....ps - nice 500th post vetteman!
