It's not mine but I saw the ad on Kijiji and went to take a look at it this morining. It's not running but apparently just needs a stator. The owner said he as all the parts needed that are not currently on the bike (side covers and left exhaust). He is asking $200 and it comes with two new tires. I noticed that it will likely need a front caliper (thread is stripped) and tank creamed. The paint is poor, seat is ripped and it looks like there was "experimental" electrical work done on it. Chrome is 5/10. Fork seals need replacing too as they are leaking badly. The biggest problem is that the engine is a little "tired" when I turned it over. It has 52,000 miles. :eek: Here are two pictures I took. The good thing about this bike is that it's $200 If anyone has any questions about it just ask and I'll try to answer based on what I saw.

You have my sympathy. ;D

it's a perfect PROJECT bike..i can rip it to bits..shred the seat and everything!!! baahaaaahaaa
 
Did the guy throw in two new tires like he said he would? He was desperate to sell it. He told me it was $200 OBO and he would even take $100. I just have a current project I'm working on and no space for another project. Plus, I'm looking for a CB750 K0, K1 or K2.
