    My cheap 83 750e

    I picked this up today


    [/URL]

    Really going to need a lot of work. Missing a cowl and rear blinkers. Master cylinder site window broken. No front brakes.

    Broken tabs on side covers. Needs seat cover.

    Yoshie exhaust with a wee bit of rust. Buff right out. $200.00 purchase price! The mulit color lichen on the tank was a real selling point. An "Organic GS" . Aged 8 years! Set for the next project...

      A 250 gallon Evaporust dip and she will be good as new
      Good challenging project. I've learned a sandblaster , paint and polish can take things along way. I see potential or a ton of parts.
      Organic he says.....lol

        Holy crap ! It's the silver one. { the fastest and definitely bestest one } If you've got the bottom tab on those side covers a few strategically placed rare earth magnets will cinch them up nicely...........

            Hey!!! What's wrong with blue snd white? It's easy Charlie, just take it apart, clean everything and put it back together.
            Oh yeah, I forgot, add a bunch of cash for missing and worn out stuff.

                          Good eye there. I need to focus on basics for now. Thanks for the offer!

                            Yes this one is in pretty rough shape. It's going to have to be gone through pretty thoroughly. I just hope the tank is not rusted out like yours was.

                              I mean, you don't get a runner for $200, or did you?
