Possible part out

[ShortBus Driver]

Come along, Bob. You know you're not supposed to talk to strangers!

[Guyf]

I'd be interested in the Remus slip on and the cylinder head protectors.

[ckcarr]

I'd also be interested in the black seat if it's fair price.

[CoffeeGuy]

Or you can drop it off at my house (I'm 25 miles away), and I'll put it together (if I can keep it)!

Sounds like a good candidate for an engine swap.

Too bad there probably aren't very many good R1200 DOHC engines out in the wild, without functional bikes around them already.

DOHC GS, RT and R haven't been out very long, and HP2S probably don't have a lot of spares or functional engine salvage units just lying around.

But one would have the first, and one of a kind non-HP2 R1200S DOHC bike.

[shreddr]

he would need the ECU if he were going for the DOHC swap.

why not find an independent mechanic, and have them swap the broken parts? what is really broken, the engine and trans cases and the clutch? just because the dealer said it is a complete loss doesn't mean it can't be fixed at a reasonable cost. what they are saying is that it can't be fixed by them at a reasonable cost.

the cases themselves are $1300, and the trans housing is $900. I don't know your mechanical ability, but a good independent guy ought to be able to do it in a weekend, you could do the strip down yourself and just give him the engine. make a deal...

Only bad parts are the engine block, trans case, ABS module and FPR. Top end of the motor is perfect, with factory valve cover protectors.

Not 100% if the bike will be completely parted out, we are toying with the idea of an R with ohlins, S tail and a 190 rear, but I wanted to see how much interest there is in S parts.

I know theres a parts wanted/for sale thread, but nothings final yet. So if your looking for some specific parts, let me know.

What would you take for the complete bike, as it sits, someone comes and hauls it away, clean title and all?

[macfly]

I may have missed what actually happened in an earlier thread, but this has certainly piqued my curiosity. What has caused the motor to suffer such a catastrophic demise?

[renn-boxer]

i would also like a project, let me know your price for everything? Thanks Craig

catastrophic clutch failure

Matt,

If you part it out I am interested in that belly pan if it survived the dyno event.

[shreddr]

definitely 2 schools of thought here, or actually one school of thought and another school of barracudas!

fix it Matt! it will be the project of a lifetime, and you will learn lots!

Agreed. Bury the demons.

[gs mack]

I have a like new abs unit of my track bike $200.

[AndrewA]

How much for the whole bike?

This was a thought. There was an HP2S on crashed toys for 6 grand. Body work was kind of messed up, but powertrain/ecm/dash was perfect. Would have been a neat combo, especially since I prefer the lines of the 12S to the HP2. Might be the only one.

Part of me wants too, alot of me wants too, Thought about an R/RT/GS bottom end. I believe the pistons are different, but I still have the top end. Would be easier to find, and probably cheaper.

I'll let all you guys know if it gets stripped. I'll have to think about what its worth as a whole. Showroom fresh bike in need of a new heart.

Decisions decisions....

[macfly]

Showroom fresh bike in need of a new heart - $4k I'd guess, problem is if you combine it with an HP2 at $6k + work, you'll end up being deep into a mongrel that won't sell for what a clean R1200S would. Thats the really problem, you could end up spending a lot of cash on this, so you gotta know this is 'the one'. If not sell and the one you really want.

we are not bike dealers, we are enthusiasts, you fix it to keep it, and if you keep it, it doesn't matter what its worth to anybody else, only to you. also as has been mentioned before, a straight out parts swap for what is broken doesn't result in a mongrel, just a repaired bike.

putting an HP2S engine in would not be a cost effective repair you will need the ECU which is gonna be pricey.

in the right hands, or in the hands of someone willing to shop around for good parts deals, this is a $2500 repair tops assuming you do the work

[wswartzwel]

How much for the clutch and transmission cases?

[shreddr]

depends on which one you need, $985 for the big one
