I posted this here last year but had very little interest. Craig's List last year and this year has produced only low-ballers. More pics are on the CL ad: http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/5499268933.html

 

This is the last of my personal motorcyles. Now that I'm using my Slingshot, I don't think I'll be motorcycling anymore.

 

This started life as a 1982 Suzuki GS450TZ. I purchased the bike in the fall of 2010 from a CR member who was using it in a daily commute. At that time the mileage on the bike was not known, but the odometer showed 14,495. I gave it to an old friend who was a professional cycle mechanic who rebuilt it over a period of 18 months.

 

Here is a partial list of the parts replaced:

 

Both tires

Sprockets, drive chain

Front fork seals

Front disc brake pads

Rear shocks

Front wheel bearings

Handlebar/grips/bar-end mirrors

Headlight/brackets/turn signals

 

He made an intake, installed custom exhaust and header, cleaned and synched the carbs, performed complete tune-up.

 

A new custom seat, rear tail section with taillight, and viper fairing were installed. He made new side covers from diamond plate flooring

 

Wheels were refurbished by Wheel Medic. Kevin Clifford painted the side covers, tail section, and gas tank.

 

The bike starts, runs, and drives without issue.

 

Here is the thread I made when the bike was finished (some "before" pics are in the middle of the thread):

Since I've had the bike back, it has lived at the Hangout and has seen little use, as I had other bikes. In four years it's seen 2k miles and has been stored under cover. Essentially it gets started and ridden every 2-3 months to keep everything "fresh," gas stabilizer in the tank, battery on a tender.

 

Last spring I installed a new battery. Each spring it's had an oil change, new filter, and safety inspection. I haven't done that service this year yet. Odometer now shows 16,330, but is non-actual according to the title. A potential buyer last week pointed out two screws missing from the windshield fairing, which I haven't had time to replace yet.

 

I'm asking $2,200 on CR ($500 discount from CL). For that you get the bike (clear title in hand), the original parts removed during rebuild (turn signals, handlebars, side covers, full chrome exhaust) and an Aerostich cover (medium size, larger than the bike needs). I have a little less than $5,000 in the bike.

 

Payment needs to be cash, or I will work with your lender. I will hold the bike for up to 30 days for you for a $500 non-refundable deposit. No trades.

 

PM me with any questions. Thanks!
