    Was that brake FLUID or brake CLEANER?

    I seem to remember it as "cleaner", because the guy sprayed it to clean something, then welded it.

        Looks like a bike front end grafted onto a riding lawnmower. If only he would put the cutting deck back on it, it might be useful. LOL

            I have a 81 SUZUKI GS750 GS 750 E! I have to sell asap money for new dentures. Runs okay for an 1981. Backfires and has a small crack in the seat. Selling to the first person with the cash, price is not neg! no scams and im not shipping it! for the price its a good deal for any person who enjoys motorcycles. it needs a bath and it be shiny. i do have sissy bars for it also. bike was stored outside so the chain is kinda rusted (ceased) but a lil tri-flow will probly make it look like new. i just noticed some blueing on the exhaust pipe and it runs well with Dot 3 mix in with the fuel. I have a couple extra bottles of dot3 i got from dollar tree i can throw in
            $4700 eh...hummm, guess mine is worth saaaayy $8000 then?

                It's that that something like this is being sold by a 'Custom' shop.

                  I remembered it as someone using brake fluid as a cleaner to remove grease etc. Now you've made me not sure.

                          I thought the 750 ad was for sure a joke, but he lowered the price and now I'm not so sure. He added this:

                          $1000 price drop! I lowered the price from $4700 to $3700. I got a couple emails with people offering around $2800. I cant go that low, I am in to it for 150.00 and i need to make a profit to be able to buy a new boat. I know in the ad it said dentures, but I figured if I told people I want to buy a boat they wouldn't be as sympathetic
                          And at the bottom:

                          email me.. and no low ball offers i already lowerd the price 1000 off and some extra dot 3 for the fuel tank.
                          I am really not sure what to make of this! It's either a long-running joke or this guy wins the Craigslist Cracker of the year award.

                            I think it falls into the "long running joke" category. It isn't going to sell at the new price either.
