I thought maybe you were headed to VT.

I know of an FE up there.

This was one of tizzy's bikes and the guy he bought from tipped it over and cracked the nose and scratched both fairings and one mirror. It's been sitting three years.

I will probably check valves, definitely will replace cam belts.

Replace the wiring to from the starter/starter solenoid with nice stranded copper, add spark exhaust, buy a battery for it, and gas er up!

Might want to plan on tires, and cleaning the float bowls.

I had thought about the bowls. Tires look ok. I've ridden on a lot worse ;D

I do have a rear I could throw on so just need a front.

Also, full floating rotors are super badass

The ie engine has hotter cams.

The OE wheels are running Pilot Road 1’s so likely the previous owner didn’t push hard.  Lightweight wheels *really* transform these bikes.

I passed on a hopped up ‘97 SS with magnesium wheels years ago.  That bike was so nimble!  Timing for the purchase wasn’t right on my end though.

I have already had thoughts of converting it to injection. It would be nothing to either swap over cams and ignition stuff from the ie engine that came with it or just swap engines.

I *think* I have a coupe ecu's from an ie ss so would just need a harness.

It could work.

Or would it be sacrilege to turn an ssfe into ssfeie?

it's only sacrilege if I don't get first dibs on the motor you have left over. ;D
