Post by peteybug »

Some of you might remember this I got it off e-bay for 137.50. The ad said bike would run but not move. <a><img></a> Well drive shaft u-joint was toast so got a swingarm shaft and finaldrive off e-bay for 10.00 plus shipping total 32.50. Put it in and rode around yard. Now here she is. Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Bike has 25,000 miles on her so I think I made out real well. Still have the fairing and bags but will not be on this bike. Total cost driveline 32.50 paint 12.00 new fluids all around maybe 40.00 belts 42.00 for both at autozone plugs 12.00 new bags free . Total 275.00 Oh forgot 2.50 for wash job per confish's rate from my last post on this bike :lol: and will tro in pic's of my front yard with my three wings ;) Image

Interesting PO saddle bags. Vetter or samsonite? Man that was a great deal though, even for parts. Nice work.
Deviant? Maybe, but not dangerous.
