OH, NOW I remember... Such a "great" bike sooooo fun to ride around town.
"Wanted something fun to ride on short trips" or something like that.
Full circle, now going to someone who will either restore it or roll it up in a knot.

I find it amusing that so many of the ads say "turns heads wherever it goes" or something to that effect.
Problem is, they never say which way the heads are turning.

If he would have only taken care of the usual things on that bike (which he said he paid almost nothing for), he could have easily sold it for $1,800 with minimal investment. Cosmetically, it was pretty much perfect.
Here's the funny thing about these abominations that people call "bobbers". The intelligence level of the person who might actually want to buy one precludes their ability to generate the revenue required to pay cash for a bike if it costs more than a few hundred dollars.
In other words, there is no market for these things, none. Idiots see them listed on Craigslist like this, and assume that they actually bring the prices they're listed at. I've watched several ebay auctions for these things, they never bring more than $1,100 or so, and most don't make reserve at that price.
I'm done mincing words anymore, these bobber guys are just f***ing morons.GS450E GS650E GS700ES GS1000E GS1000G GS1100G GS1100E

Don't hold back, tell us what you really think....lol, I have to agree, it was a nice looking bike before, now he's just like so many others, and we got to talk to him first hand which pretty much confims all are rantings about these bikes and their owners, sorry to those who actually know what they're doing when they build one, he just wasn't one of them.Originally posted by Griffin View PostWhat a jackass.

The only good thing about it is that it would not be too difficult to put it back to original condition.Originally posted by Griffin View PostWhat a jackass.

Different strokes for different folks. There are cool bobbers out there. But craigslist isn't where you will find them.

I'm a little confused... I see the handlebar Hex bolts in the clamps... Did I miss something?Originally posted by Dave8338 View PostToo funny !
You sir, are SOOOOOO correct. Maybe used a little Super Glue as the bolt heads would be WAY too uncool, for THAT build !
