Craigslist "funnies"

[JerryBB]

LOL, it looks as if they dropped one car from a great height on to the other. You would have to be taking some serious meds to think this was a good idea to do.

Here's the recipe:

Pabst Blue Ribbon

White Trash

Crystal Meth

Welder

This is what you get:

At least it looks like a good job.

Anybody here think this is 100% water tight? Nice and cozy in a deluge?



If so, I've been authorized to take bids on the Brooklyn Bridge.

I'm digging it. Bet it is the only RR truck out there.

"only mechanical issue is that one of the rods needs adjusted. It knocks slightly."

Ok. I've had this bike for 4 years and last year decided to completely customize it front to back. To avoid a long story, it did not and is not going to get done. The good news for you is that all you have to do is put it back together and I guarantee no other bike will look like it. The green picture is what it looked like the first time I changed it all around with new paint, handlebars, saddlebags, exhaust, and sissy bar. What I was going for this next time was a 70's cruiser style. So I bought fenders that wrap around more of the tire and had them cut and welded to fit. And a bigger tank that we modified the frame a little so it would fit. I still have all the original pieces if you'd like. You'd just need to weld the little posts back on for the old tank to sit on. No big deal. The only mechanical issue is that one of the rods needs adjusted. It knocks slightly. It has never gotten any worse in the 2 years I rode it though. The bike started up every time with no problems and has a 6 speed transmission which is very handy for highway riding. The tires only have one season on them. I also have a full dark brown leather hide because we were going to make custom saddlebags and re-wrap the seat. I paid $200 for it but will let it go for half that. The included pictures are a sort of mock up of what the fenders and seat would look like on it.

Brand new things I bought for it:
Bullet style turn signals
Tombstone taillight
Handlebar controls
Gear selector arm
Rear brake pedal
Header pipes
and honestly probably a couple other things I've forgotten by now

I always took very good care of this bike with oil changes and maintenance. I am willing to negotiate the price. Any questions at all feel free to ask. Thanks for looking.

Only asking $500? Underachiver. Almost makes it worthwhile to save it from Maron.

Why would you ride on an out of adjustment pushrod for 2 years then admit it?

 

[JamesWhut?]

Honesty? :highly_amused:

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

It has adjustable rods? Worth every penny then.

 

[hoop]

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.

 

[Rob S.]

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.

 

[Grimly]

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.

Knowledge is power!

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

 

[AKC75]

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...
