[ripchord11]

Hey everybody, There is a guy selling a bike by the parts, on Ebay, and I would like to ask kindly to leave me the "Yellow" bike parts(tour package that has been painted) as the guy lives close to me, and I am trying to bargain a package deal for all the yellow stuff , so it will match, and I could just drive and pick them up)...........if there is a part that is yellow that you need, let me know, and you can have my parts from my bike.(original macho maroon color).......also I am vying for the Tkat fork brace that he has on there also............PLEASE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! I am trying to keep it CHEAP!!!!! The vetter fairing and bags that I have are ok, but have some damage, and I would like to replace them........I would like to keep everything one color at least....THANKS!!!!!!!!!

For the life of me, I can't figure out why someone would split a set like that into many pieces. Who wants to win the bid on the left bag but not the right, or not win the mounting hardware??? I would be in for the bidding if it were a complete set.

[Firehawk]

To be completely honest with you, I'm not even sure how much that bike needed to be parted out to begin with. Everything on there is extremely clean, and in good shape.

[ripchord11]

Well to be honest, the guy is kind of an ass, thats why, he is trying to get as much as he can for these things, I offered him 250.00 for the yellow items, and even exchange for my stuff, and he told me...........you are not even close.........you are about a third of the way there !!!! I told him they are used bike parts, not diamonds!!!! The Tkat brace is going higher than I expected, how high should I go, before it is almost new price????It is being played hard!!!! look how many bids already!! Should I just wait and get a new one ??? I heard TKAT is hard to get a hold of......The one on Ebay looks like it is missing two screws, he avoided the question of one bidder, who inquired about the screws.........Damn I wanted it cheaper than 75.00!!!!!Everytime I bid someone hits is right away.......I give up.

[ripchord11]

with the response the brace is getting, Tkats phone should be ringing off the hook!!!! and Cash flowing heavily!!!! man I do not get a "brake"

[ripchord11]

I wanted the whole set..........but it looks like I will get the Hard bags and the fairing.( the guy told me I would never get these things by bidding on them, cheaper than 250.00, He said a guy wanted to buy the hard bags for 125.00 and he turned it down)..............How does the tool kit look to you guys?????? really the only part I need is the Mid gear Gauge.....but it is still going pretty cheap for the set

I have been watching his stuff also. Why don't we flood his inbox with messages of how much of a 'Richard Crainium' he is? From the description he gave, it sounds like a simple pick up coil wire repair would have fixed the problem. Effin' idiot! Busting up a nice bike like that.

In tech tips, you can make your own Middle gear and final gear dipstick..

If that is all you want the tool kit for, I'd save your money.

"The yellow bike" My brother has an '80 xs1100 standard, and is going for the pipes, hot and heavy, you may beat him, but you will pay out the nose. LOL. Later 'Dog

hey ripchord11

check bid time left on an item
don't bid until the end
bidding too soon just drives the price up

LOL...........Yo Dog, no I don't need the pipes, mine are nearly perfect, although I would like to get some better sound out of mine, toooo quiet!!! I mearly wanted to get all the matching yellow parts, so I could have one color.........Now, I will probably have a Florida Seminole/Washington Redskin color bike.....and I am a Dolphin Fan!!!!Thanks for the tip on the Mid Gear Final drive Gauge.....I think it is awful he tore this bike up for a small problem.MoneyMoney money

Un Muff your Muffler!

Hey Rip,

Just drill a few 1/4" holes in the end of the baffles of your mufflers, and it'll ritchen up the sound. IF you then don't like it, you can put in some sheet metal screws to reclose the holes!

Thanks TC!! Do I drill right through the holes already in it???
