Craigslist "funnies"

[Steve]

It's just difficult for me to imagine someone trying to sell something and they have absolutely no idea what it is they are selling. Crazy I tell Ya, just crazy !!!!

I was doing some browsing on eBay last night and saw a "chainguard for GS850".

I sent a message to the seller, asking if he also had a chain and set of sprockets for the 850. :-\\\


(For the new guys that don't know, ALL GS850s were shaft drive. )

To an XS650 Yami fan...it will be. SOOOOOOOOOO many of those bikes have been cut up, stretched, chopped, ect. that to find an ALL original piece, is nearly impossible.

LONG LIVE THE L's... :-\\\ :clap:


The XS 650's in stock form, are an absolute BLAST to ride. Low end torque and the top end was rarely reached...

 

[SVSooke]

You forgot the filling removing vibration.Yes even I can almost see it,still would not take it if you paid me.I HATED mine.Didn't...nay couldn't explore the top end.Just my opinion though.

 

[koolaid_kid]

I had a 78 650E. It was a great town bike. Sure, it vibrated, it was a vertical twin. I thought of it as a British twin done correctly. It was also reliable, had electric start, did not leak oil and had CV carbs, which I think work better than the VM carbs on my 78 GS750. I liked it a lot and wish I still had it.

Just when you've seen it all....check out the tank handles. Maybe if during a tank slapper at high speed you can let go of the h-bar and grab hold of the tank.

I would really "hate to get ride of this bike" too. I wouldn't know where to hang on.

 

[Jagir]

I LOVE it ALL!!! After seeing this fine example, I'm going to take the 850 in the same direction. :clap: Think I may even use the pedal idea for some sexy looking forward mounts. Nice piece! :-\\\

Need to shorten the tail section a little more. It looks WAY to bulky.

Stuff a beer can in there to house the taillight. That'll make it alright.

Many of us like a 'retro' look....but these were ugly when they were new, and they still are.

Motorcycle Seat w/Backrest - $50

Up for sale is my old motorcycle seat. This is a Corbin/Gentry seat that has to be over 15 years (and I am guessing). This seat is off my 1978 Yamaha XS750 Special and came with the bike when I purchased it in 2008. I'm selling it because I've decided to go original equipment. The seat you see here is not in the greatest of shape. It has its small tears and defects but is a good functional seat. The base is solid and could be fabricated to fit any of the older bikes. I know this because of the welds I found on the base. So if you are interested, shoot me an e-mail and we'll chat. The price is negotiable....

There is no question on this one http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/1981-Yamaha-Exciter-250_13809722 Got to be doing some kinda drugs.

 

[GS1000G Shopper]

I don't keep up with the exchange rate, but $1700 CAD is still pretty high, eh?

 

[SVSooke]

CAD and USD are close to the same.A little high,there is a newer RZ350 for $1500 in the same set of ads.

Beauty eh?

Kinda funny.

[cowboyup3371]

needs carbs rebuilt but runs killer if you push start it. Maybe just the pilot jet??

could use master cyllinders for clutch and front brake. They still work fine you just cant bleed the front brake cuz 1 screw is rusted in there (common on these)

Other than those 2 things this thing is ready to ride cross country if ya dont mind not having front turn signals or horn. I have the horn and all wires are there ready to be hooked up.

Oh my gosh! That would be a little scary if it wasn't so funny. Course the lard ass comment makes me hope his girlfriend won't read it.

Now now Steve, I am sure that with a little ingenuity, a chain guard could be fitted to a GS850.

[cowboyup3371]

Why must every custom bike include a bunch of skulls on it and be priced ridiculously high?

Skulls and Pricing

Skulls and Pricing

....Maybe because the seller is ridiculously high.

Earl

But the chain guard that was offered on eBay as an 850 chainguard didn't look anything like the chain guards that I already have fitted to all three of mine.

Yep, I have 'em. Two of them have chain guards that are held in place by 16 bolts, the third one is held in place by 19 bolts.

The only reason for that is because Suzuki changed the design for the valve covers in '82.

Yeah, the valve cover covers the only chain on the 850, the CAM CHAIN.
