Hello Everyone! Just wanted to drop in and say I've been lurking for a while after picking up this Fury from a Copart auction. I've learned a lot about these bikes and they really have a passionate following.
This example is a 2011 Fury that someone really took care of. It had a ton of custom parts including aftermarket Cobra pipes, PowrFlo Air Intake System, digital display, Cobra FI2000R, I think a custom seat with passenger backrest, and hand painted pinstripes.
It looks like this bike went directly straight into something and then fell over on its side. The engine cases weren't even scratched, just a bent rear brake lever on one side. The main issue is the neck tube and down tubes. Obviously the neck-tube will need to be repaired along with bearings, but the down-tubes may wind up staying like that. I've checked the bike over and damn if I can't see any cracks or even a flaw in the paint on the factory welds. Geometry is going to be off a bit but this thing really took it in the face. The wheel wasn't even bent.
I've started the engine once so far and it sounds insane. I'd be glad to update this thread with progress. This is coming back form the auction, and current progress on the lift. (This is a Pro Cycle DT lift, I highly recommend if this kind of thing is your bag).
