$200 score.....?

[partsmaster]

Picked up these couple turds this morning, first gen and an 83. The first gen is pretty complete, supposedly needs a coil. I think these will b mostly 4 parts but I may geta wild hair 2 get the first gen rideable. Enjoy

I'd say thats a pretty darned good deal for $200

Does the first generation turn over? Looks like it might be worth spending the time on. Good score!!!

Nice find ! I am always trolling on craigslist for the S w e e t deals.

[partsmaster]

Yeah, they both turn over. The 1st gen has some work out swinger bushings and a loose possibly stripped rear hub, brakes don't work, seat pan is pretty well rotted away, tires r pretty weather checked including the one hardly ran ohtsu h trak on the right side (lol), the h trak still has the painted stiping on the face of the tire..... however, the tank is very clean save 4 a few dents, frame appears 2 be straight and crack free, suspension cycles through like it should even tho it sits way up n the air, feels like I'm on a big red, has what appears 2 be an aftermarket silencer on it and an otherwise clean mostly complete bike.

The 83 is basically an engine, frame, tank, swinger and forks but it all appears 2 be in decent shape asside from the dented up tank.

I may part the 83 eventually and drag the first gen n the shop and try 2 make a rider out of it, couldn't let these things wind up at the crusher!

Thanks

Good save. If I was you I would get the first gen going and after that see what to do with the 83. Maybe you will run into another for cheap and turn 2 into a good one!

I could sure use that swing arm skid plate from the '83 for my restoration project. How much you asking?

[Jason125m]

That is an amazing deal. I'd buy that all day everyday.

[Husky250]

Hell, there's enough there on either of them to start making a daily rider! (Spoken like a man who can't get his hand on one)(and really wants one)

[bigworm626]

Money in the bag holmes!

[GotaCrawB4UWalk]

ohh man i love these two turds... i cant wait to get that first gen going and rip it around the farm....

[sp8twn]

[dcreel]

Sweet grab.. Looks like a Coffman's silencer on the first gen..
