bigd Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 This is a friends bike. The description in the ad is accurate. I actually took the test ride on this one before he bought it. Needs a little tlc - but otherwise a solid bike, and could turn out to be a really sweet cafe project. http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/3678421106.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 cool bike. pretty impressive power for the size and age too.I keep debating whether I want another EX500, or something like this, that is a bit heavier, slower (only a 5 speed), and probably doesn't brake or handle as well, but is so much cooler.I wouldn't go full on cafe racer on it, but I'd probably make some minor cosmetic tweaks to modernize it a bit. Paint the front fender, install sleeker turn signals, and maybe see what options are available. Pod filters would clean up the air box area too. Maybe see if there are brake upgrade options that retain the spoke wheel.LBTS. GLWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Holy stock exhaust batman! Those pipes are actually worth something as nobody kept the factory 4 to 4 and instead shitcanned it for a kerker or Jardine 4 to 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
