    Pics of KONG!

    OK a couple of you Yehus (yahoos) ask me to post pics of Kong. I haven't had a chance to detail him yet but here he is.

    I didn't wanna post pics until I knew it would run and not be parted out. I bought him on eBay. He was listed as a "parts" bike. Brought him home...carbs kits...petcocks....oil change....clean tank and

    Vroooooooooooooooooommmmmmm!

    Thanks so much for the help people.

          Yeah. When saw it on eBay I figured the pics were old. Contacted the guy and he said he'd just taken them. He also mentioned the bike would start on starting fluid and it sounded ok but wouldn't run.

          Now I know why. The carbs were the worst I've seen in a while. TOTALLY gummed up. Not now though.

                  Fantastic Bike! I wondered who would pick up on that bike when I seen it on eBay. There was a sweet Midnight Special on eBay just last week that only had 2k miles. It only attracted $650 in bids si it didn't sell.

                          I used to think I prefered "stripped down" too....until I took a 2500 mile road trip on "Zilla".............SWEEEEET!

                          For just messin' around on the street I still prefer a naked bike. But the last road trip I took on a bare bike absolutely SUCKED!

                          Now... to answer your question...the corner of the Yammy hardbags are about one inch from the pipes. If ya need close up photos lemme know and I'll post something.

                              Can you believe that! If the "old lady" wasn't so gripey I'd have a garage FULL of elevens...at least 11 eleven's I would've easily paid $1500 for that Midnight....and I don't even like the black and gold motif.
