HI guys and gals. Well, I have another bike in my stable.. Long story short I am on our local Mustang club message forum he was advert'ing it for sale there.
His dad and him beefed because there was too much of his sons stuff in the garage and said to get the bike gone asap... he went from 1500 a few weeks back.. originally, to 1200.. to 1000.. over time.. then after the fight with dad $800 takes it, and I notice I have PM on there. He knows I am into resto'ing bikes and says "600 come get it, i'd like to see you get this and do your thing to it..".
I went up, and not having a dime to my name right now, can't afford it but wanted to look. I looked it over, found stuff, but overall its' a solid bike for sure. We couldn't get it to start.. it has 1.5 year old gas, an improper air box lid/air cleaner, etc... It has tons of compression, good spark, sounds there maybe some piston cleanrance between the cyl wall when you roll it over real slow.. but he says it runs like a champ, was rebuilt two seasons ago, loses no water, and water doesn't get into the oil. I offered him $550 told him I wished i'd had the cash on me, but that I was broke until a week or two from now. He told me "$550... yeah fine.. and you can take it tonight if you want, you have done lots of work for guys on the RTP club porting heads and stuff.. I trust you based on what I have heard about you [felt good to hear].
Soooo... tomorrow, I clean a bunch of stuff out, and get it running and ride it. LMK what U think for $550..
