    Looks like he studied the Hyosung GV250 design to mimic, but failed even that.

      It has adjustable rods? Worth every penny then.

        Are those bikes ohc or ohv? If its ohv, at least see if the rockers are adjusted?

        If its connecting rods, yeah...sign me up. I'd love a set of adjustable connecting rods.

          Front fender's not big enough.

          If the first green pic is the before, he could have gotten more for it if he never touched it.

            That's that well-known Honda rod-knock adjusting screw. Fitted to every Honda, that is.

              Heh. That is the... "fun" thing about dealing with Craigslisters. Its as likely that its just the valves or cam tensioner out of spec as it is "a rod". Its sort of like playing the lotto you never know what you're going to get (but you're probably going to lose).

                Oh, i've bought trucks that people "got the transfer case stuck in 4lo". I buy them, put them in neutral and pop them into 2wd and drive home.

                  If the lift comes with it, it would be a steal!

                    Look! What a steal! Love this part. "It need some work that's why its cheap"

                      Strategically placing the clutch lever over the hole in the side of the gas tank was a nice touch...

                              I thought the term was "distressed"
