Stunters and HD guys ride for the attention? Come visit us at a track. We'd like to learn about your control. Yes, we are all assholes here. Since you are here, you're one too.

Mine has the plastics! Or can I keep those?
If you want to keep the plastics, I'm keeping the Skittles.

If I wrecked a raffled bike I certainly wouldn't be telling anyone.
I sold a 68" Cougar once, to my best friend, who had to have it ... (the car was way above his abilities) ... his girlfriend wrecked it the next day.
I was sad.

Proof or just what you've heard? Seems to be a whole lot of people who've used nothing but WD40 to clean their chains and have seen 15-20k out them. I'm genuinely curious.
Oh, Iv'e seen it first hand. I sprayed my chain with it once and saw it sag under it's own weight all the way to the ground. Like an overcooked piece of spaghetti.
p.s. Iv'e used the stuff since day one. Always had the cleanest chains and never had any failure or issue. WD-40 rocks!
-
WD-40 will soften your chain and make it stretch prematurely.

Those officers took the chance of getting shot. That's why they had their tazers out. Just in case.
I'm guessing they knew they were intruding.
All in the premise that there was a potentially violent situation that had occurred or could occur.

-
I'll trade you my quad and a big bag of skittles
Mmmm, Skittles ... You aren't helping.
-
Trade ya my 2000 triumph speed triple for it?
Whoa, hey! A Monday morning trade offer! Damn you, I'm trying to reduce the amount of bikes in my garage.

You're missing $500-$1000 worth of plastics depending on what you want to get (OEM vs ABS china crap), and the rebuilt title. Sounds sketchy to me.
Rebuilt bike ... Yes.
Rebuilt or salvage status title ...NO.
It's a clean title bike with an odometer disclosure.
-
Received some $ back from 2TallTim ... he wouldn't keep all that I gave him. Also received a new helmet.
It's in great condition and Thank You for the goods.
-
Added a steering damper (not dampener or dampner) and some new "blood"

Logistics pended. Thank You!

It's not beat up, but keep this in mind. Someone looks at this thing and has to take your word for it on the miles since it never had gauges. They then look at what the cost of fairings are going to cost. Finally, while it does have some cool changes from other Suzuki machines, it is a possible indicator that it has been crashed and possibly has chassis issues.
If you warranty against the frame being twisted or tweaked and can get a set of gauges that has at least closer miles to what you believe, it makes it a $3k maybe bike. The way it sits, $1500-$2k is really a fair price.
I stated steep because you were not accepting of $1500 which had me thinking you thought $4k was fair. That would be "steep" in my opinion.
That all being said, I like it. A lot. I am very interested as I have a design for a cafe racer for the bike and am looking into the things that will cause issue from a buddy in Chicago that does these types of things. I just am not interested if you think $1500-$2k is lowball.
I respect what you want out of it, but just trying to paint a picture of what potential buyers are going to think...
I understand the concerns buyers will have about a bikes history and condition, based on the no-bodywork state. Everyone knows a bike without bodywork has been down. I won't deny that, and I won't indicate it hasn't come through without a scratch. Questions should be asked, and I will do my best to answer them. It should be relatively easy to look at considering there's no bodywork covering anything. LOL
It is a rebuild. It has been looked at and improved on from its previous state and it has been regularly ridden for years. It works and does its job well.
If I could have found a clean set or if I could afford a new OEM set of bodywork, I would be keeping it for a long time. It's a unique bike that always gets me where I'm going and draws looks while getting there.
I'd like to move on to an RC8 or Duck as the next twin. Thus the reason for the sale.
If it's not a $3000 value to anyone, I will be keeping it for another year and adding some Beasley Bodywork over the winter. All I'd need is a custom painter to help me finish the job.

How do you know the exact miles if you did not have gauges?
I'm going by the mileage that was indicated on the Indiana title, to indicate what was on the bike when I purchased it. Adding mileage I put on it brings it to around 9,500.
"Steep pricing"? Someone mentioned "You can find beat up TLR's for about 2-3k usually" Should I mangle mine a bit, to foster some interest?
If someone brings me $2K cash ...
.... just kidding.
-
1 on the new Ohio title (Ohio BMV inspector didn't like the fact that my purchase had no guages)
9,500 on the bike (Ohio BMV wouldn't transfer the Indiana title mileage)
32,000 on the guages (Ohio BMV demanded I buy guages)
-
Transmission has been sold
-
One in very clean/good condition like this one would be about 4-5k finished. You can find beat up TLR's for about 2-3k usually.
:stupid:
