  • Gotta let the E go...

    Hey y'all,

    Because of recent circumstances I have come to the conclusion that my 78 E/ Venturer project is more than I can handle right now. Well, that and I need the money a whole lot more than I need another project right now.

    It includes all the parts listed for it in my signature PLUS the original Pacifico fairing, bags and trunk, stock E seat. 2 exhaust systems, 1 stock that needs mufflers and 1 Mack 4 into 2 w/flair tips. Both fairings have lowers and the bike has new Shinko 712's.

    There is just under 26,000 on the clock. engine is solid. I went through the carbs last spring and had it running good but it's been sitting and they probably need cleaning again.

    I would like to get $1200 for it all but will consider any REASONABLE offer.
    Fixed for you...

    I presume that price includes a quarter pound of gold thrown in for good measure. Hope your healing okay and getting back to normal

          I assume that's your subtle way of saying that the price is too high.

          There's enough stuff there to put a NICE bike together and have parts left over to sell to pay for it. The bike has a clear title and has current tags.

          The only reason I haven't put it together is it needs to be painted and I'm freakin' broke.

            Which price Marty? The number or the REASONABLE offer?

              It has been brought to my attention that I put too many 0's on that price.

              Could I get one of our fine admins or mods to change the asking price to $1,200 please?

                    In just the fairing or the whole package. I would really rather sell it all together. Or, at least try before I start piecemealing stuff.

                        There is, actually there are 3. The one Venturer fairing, a decent Pacifico and another not so good Pacifico I was planning on throwing in with the package anyway.

                        I also have the Cutter fairing I used to have on Okie. I had it on last year at XS Southeast.

                          Hi Greg,
                          I spilled my beer when i read the 12Thousand price. Then I thought maybe you had taken a hit to the head during your earlier mishap
                          12Hundred sounds like a give away price for all that stuff. I hope someone takes advantage of your offer soon.
                          Thanks for the entertainment.

                            I just thought that the 12,000 was a joke price and that he would sell for a "Reasonable price". I was wondering what area of pricing he was at but knew, any price is negotiable and that contacting the seller if interested would be the only way to find out.
                            Besides one gets way more coverage if they are trying to sell something that is silly overpriced as everyone gets in on the game. The link is probably spread half way across the world by now, and everyone who reads it will see the real price. Good marketing skills....maybe.. Generate interest...for sure.

                              Glad I could brighten your day Phil. I had brain damage way before the wreck.

                              I wish I had actually thought of that Doug. Unfortunately Phil's diagnosis of lack of brain function is just what it is.
