Another Cooley in the garage

[trevor]

Picked up another 1980 Cooley today. 22,500kms (14,000 miles)
Needs some work... front rotors are from a 79 for some reason. I will get an air box and get rid of the pods. I have ?79 L? exhaust for it too...but that Hindle is pretty and sounds great!
Everything works...gauges all work.
Sweet S&W Street Stroker shocks just like on my other one... not sure if I?ll keep it though. My wife may actually kill me..lol
Not sure if this was smart...and it wasn?t cheap.

Nice! Are the forks original do you think or has it had a whole front end swap?

Hmmm...I'm not sure.

Great score, Trevor - two is always better than one!

 

[GSXR7ED]

Wow!

It would be fabulous to take one off your hands!!!

My wife would cut my bits off...lol.

Plus, it would require a cross-country trek to BC!!!

Congrats, Trevor!
Those Hindle pipes sound terrific, imho.
Nice to see the photo-bomber is back. Ollie? That nonchalant look ain't fooling me.

Good score Trevor. It's found a good home. Oh yeah, about the wife. Just say it's Rob's, I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time you blamed sh!t on him. LOL.

Lol...my poor wife.

Lol...my poor wife.

You seem to have a great wife. At least she's not going to cut your "bits" off when you bring home a new motorcycle... I had a girlfriend that said "it's eather me or your motorcycles." I sometimes miss that woman!

 

[ddaniels]

Now you're hoarding. Intervention may be in order.

Lol...I am very fortunate...my wife sees how happy my bikes make me and doesn't stand in the way. She is a little concerned that I have two of the same bikes in my garage though. Lol

But, they aren't the the same. They just "look" the same, lol. Apparently, the Pacific Northwest has an issue. They are INFESTED with MOST of the pristine GS's left in the world ! ! ! And as if it's a shelter for no longer wanted GS's, they keep ending up at Trevors. H3LL, there's probably a sign in his yard that says "Free drop off service. No questions asked" LOL...

I was never happy with the gas tank either..the white portion has been painted white white... and the one decal was a bit out of position. My painter fixes it up and told me they had dents in the tank and they bondo-ed over the original decals! �� anyway it’s right now! The stock exhaust was missing three of the four collars...I got lucky and found three matching one at my local motorcycle salvage yard. Pretty rusty but I put them in my favourite rust remover...bingo brand new over night!

Slowly but surely it's coming along. I have a few guys interested...fingers crossed.

Also put on the proper slotted discs upfront. Putting on the "stock" exhaust...(79 GS1000L)...thanks to kiwi Canuck

I have a couple of people interested in the bike in the US....anyone here ever imported a bike from Canada to the US?
