This is my first time visiting these forums. I am a member of Club3G because I own a 2000 Eclipse GT. So, I figured since I got a project bike I can gather information from you fellas on this forum.
Here is the story so far...
My uncle has a friend that wrecked a 1985 Kawasaki Ninja 600 a little while back. We were talkin about it the other day and my uncle said at one time he was selling it for $125 because he wanted to get it out of his sight. I told him we should buy it and see if it is worth fixing. As far as we know the engine wasnt damaged in the wreck. We figured even if it wasnt worth fixing we could part the good parts on the bike out and get our 125 bucks back.
So, we called him today and luckily he still had it. We went and picked it up and brought it home.
The frame is bent a little on the back. Fairly sure it will bend back like we want it. Most of the fairings are gone. The wheels are in decent shape. It still has a gauge, which is probably worth what we paid for the bike. The wiring seems good. The man said as far as he knows the motor will turn over, but he wasn't positive. The carburetors were uncovered, so we are gonna have to tear it apart and clean the gunk out of it.
