My cheap ride with a fat ass... Project 'Chantelle'

[dextersaurus]

So i went to buy a ZZR600d... something cheap and cheerful. Great condition, really looked after, and the guy threw in a box full of parts including a set of forks, tank, swingarm and electrics etc etc.

Now i know exactly what you lot are going to say, but i wanted something mental, and a ZZR600 isn't exactly that.

This is how i picked it up

And the chopping begins. Put a fireblade tail unit on

With the other rat fighters...

I call her Chantelle, because she's a cheap, ugly ride with a fat ass.

Cheers,

I hope it was cheap enough that you didn't feel guilty doing that
I do have a thing for rat bikes though

Wow! Most people would have to crash it first and be on the dole to make it look like that

Personally, thought it looked better before.

And why didn't you buy a bike in bad condition (scratched/cracked plastics and rusted etc) but mechanically sound if u were gonna rat it, instead of ruining good condition plastics?

Not having a go... just curious, surely you would of saved more money that way?

[drzsta]

It looks wank now.

[reed]

Well that's another bike unnecessarily fucked up.

I've got the money so wasn't bothered about it being cheap. That's the point in a rat though. It looks shit, but it looks so shit, it actually looks good...

I was wanting a cheap bike I don't care much about, so I can spend money on my fireblade while still having a bike to run about on.

[reed]

It's not really a rat though, it looks like it has been crashed and then attacked with a can of matte black spray paint.

Shame.

[_Iain_]

Personally i'd have left well alone till such times as it'd been crashed or dropped etc.

But meh. Whatever floats your boat.

It is nice however to have a bike you're not fussed about scratching, and not ever having to worry about polishing/washing either

Just so you know, the bandit tails are a direct fit (plastics) aslong as you remove the plate holder.

also a vfr cowl aswell i think.

It's one of those 'I've got some spare cash, I'm gonna go buy a minter of a bike and destroy it' kinda things.

Each to their own, and all that.

Nice 'how to' thread.




As in 'how to' screw up a perfectly nice bike.

ahh you're all boring

So i 'ruined' a perfectly good bike... I didn't want a perfectly good bike. That's what my fireblade is for.

[mysterious_rider]

I gave perfectly good advice and its been totally ignored. MEH!
