Craigslist "funnies"

[Guest]

I thought my Honda 750 had an oil tank behind the side cover. It's been near 40 years, so I may be thinking of something else.

I have a CB 750 oil tank floating around in the garage somewhere.

Single cam cb750's were dry sump.

True that.

Gives Harley wannabes a little extra thrill - they get to build an oil bag.

"Yew just supplie me with sum saws all blades and sum guud beer and I'll git er done" Haha
Would be nice if he showed some examples of the bikes he built.
He cant get it running but he will bolt a bunch of crap onto it. Sounds like he plans on welding on a tail hoop, putting on a pre made cafe seat and some other bolt ons and trying to make some money. We all know that to tear a bike down to the frame and properly do a proper resto mod costs that much in parts and paint alone, not counting the months of hours we put into these stupid bikes. I can't imagine this "builder" paying as much attention to detail as we do.

So for a grand you get his expertise in custom installation, but I assume not the actual custom parts themselves.

"If there are mechanical issues I am not your guy"

Ah, the fresh air of honesty. Although for a grand the custom paint probably comes with the tell-tale sound of the rattle, does it not?

Also some pic of completed projects would have been nice.

He doesn't state that he's ever built a 'cafee bike" before. Only that he has "experiance". At something. But he probably looked at a few of the chop jobs on the Craigslist and recognized an opportunity to separate fools from their money.

 

[Buffalo Bill]

Soon to discover, fools don't have any money.

 

[JamesWhut?]

They do, but don't keep it for long.

Fabulous Suzuki GT550 two stroke for a modest $200.

I'm sure that will buff right up and be good as gnu.

 

[Buffalo Bill]

You make my mouth water…:sour:

My friend and I were doing an excavation job. We found a Honda 900 sport buried UNDERGROUND.
It was in better shape than that.

 

[megatwin]

Probably ran when parked,too.

From my own neighborhood, this 1986 Goldwing owner feels it runs fine and is a good deal at $1400. Lets go to the replay, shall we?

"Great running bike...it's old..it needs a good cleaning..but everything works and it runs better than most bikes...I would ride this bike anywhere....it jumps out of 4th when you put the throttle on...it will do fine in 4th for slowing down...it usually bypass 4th while starting out...great price for a good running bike..."

[JamesWhut?]

Runs great. Just doesn't drive worth a damn. lol.

How do you jack up the 4th gear on a GW?!?

 

[Guest]

Do you have $3000 you want to flush down the sh**ter?

[JamesWhut?]

but it comes with parts bike for "free"! That seat makes it look like its being ridden by a giant cockroach. :eek-new:

Virtually every ad like this has the same phrase in it; the carbs need adjusting. How is it you spend hours doing the hack job but find no time to finish the carbs? Sheesh!

"Over the last 2 years I have ripped the bike apart..."

Yes you did.
