    79 special and 78 standard

    I just picked up a 79xs11 special 7,300 miles and a 78 standard 12,000 miles.
    Both good projects with titles. Good motors and trannies. I'm in northest PA.
    I got them for parts, but it's a shame to rip them apart. Anyone lookin?

They don't wail like a screeching ninja, the don't rumble like a harley. They just growl like a spactic, stressed out badger waiting to rip your face off and eat your soul." Trainzz~RIP~

        I just got them on tuesday, 15 hours of drive time. The special has been sitting in his garage for ten years. He put oil in the top of the motor and let it sit. The carbs are gummed and the tires will need replaced, carb boots are cracked but may not leak. The bike is coverd with dirt but will clean up nicely. The only unfixable thing I have seen is it has a 80sg tank(with red metal flake insted of gold)
        I don't think I will have any trouble cleaning and fixing to make it a $2500 to $3000 bike. 7,300 miles!
        I could clean it up and part it out to the tune of $3,000 now. I haven't even washed it yet. I'd take $1,500 as it sits. I just sold one like it on ebay for $3500 with 10,000 miles.
        The 78 standard is a 12,000 mile bike that shouldn't take more than a brake and carb cleaning and a valve cover gasket. but it shows it's age and would take more work to make it shine. It was the original owner and I took it out of the back room at the bike shop. They said clean the carbs and it would run.
        Owner said the bike was fine and he just got a new one last year. I'd get about $1500 for the parts, I'd take $950 for the bike as it sets.
        I'm in Montoursville, Pa just east of Williamsport. In town and not hard to find. rt 15 runs right into Williamsport.

          Nevermind, I'm going to keep the special. I had a chance to clean it up and it's to nice to sell. I'm going to hold on to it. The 78's still for sale and I'll still have parts listed.

            I had a feeling that was going to happen. When you get her cleaned up post some pics.
