ShoMeSomeFun Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 $4500 OBO - How do you price it anyway? For sale, as is (see caveat), is a 1978 Suzuki GS1000. I built this bike as my first motorcycle 2 years ago. Turns out that riding motorcycles isn't for me. I'm sad to see this up for sale but it only brings me joy when I look at it and scares the shit out of me when I ride. Seems I only like to drive this thing beyond my ability. The bike runs great. It does have a dent on the tank (will fix for extra 200 on top of sale price). Carbs have been upgraded with larger jets to accommodate the pod filters. Has new battery and starts up fine. I would recommend a better seat setup as this setup is ok at best, and new front brakes. They're functional but could use better looking ones. Lastly the throttle cable and return spring could need replaced as it's sticker than I prefer. Unless you approve of old school cruise control. The whole bike was pulled apart and painted with black metallic crystal paint. The side covers we're shortened and painted the same color. The tank is painted with a retired red metallic color that GM made after the Ohio State school colors. New adjustable shocks were installed in rear. I built this bike myself during my first semester of college and after 10 years serving overseas. I have 20 years experience fixing vehicles in my family's body shop that's been in business for 43 years if your concerned with build quality. I love this bike if it doesn't sale that's fine with me. But it needs to be riden by someone who's going to let their friends and family member enjoy this vintage bike. I have a clean title in possession. Happy bidding. And I can send video of it running upon request. Seller is responsible for pickup and shipping of bike ( I can assist to a certain extent in loading of bike).

ShoMeSomeFun Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Seems I've prices this too high. I've had a few offers around the 3k mark. So in an effort to save on shipping to out of state offers I'm dropping the price. 3350 OBO. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
