    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well as I now have a growing family the time has come to sell 'Betsy'.
This bike is completely one of a kind. It has been professionally customized from the ground up by myself and my mechanic this was no home handy man job. No detail was missed. The engine has been completely rebuilt (twice) in the last 3 years. This included new pistons and boring. The forks are from a Suzuki gs1000. The seat was custom made from real leather by a professional upholsterer. The tires alone were about $1200, shipped in from the states.
There was no expenses held back with the rebuilding of the bike. It took me to and from Las Vegas 3 years ago no problem. After the trip we rebuilt the engine yet again and tweaked what we could based on the experience. During this rebuild we switched out the headlight and swapped the stock battery with a new lithium ion battery. We had all of the aluminum custom crafted for the modifications.

Everything except for the engine, gas tank and frame is brand new. Including brakes, chain, spedo, clutch, exhaust... She growls.

Why am I selling her? If you have a new family you'd understand. But it's still hard to see her go.

It's impossible to put a price tag on this bike but I'm open to a conversation. I also hope that you would continue using the same mechanic as he has poured his heart into rebuilding this bike and knows each and every nut and bolt on her.

Would be interested in trading for an SUV or station wagon.

I quite like it, apart from the usual caterpillar seat and lack of front 'guard.
It's different from the normal CL casualties. Anyway, it's an XS and I've become so used to the horrible hack jobs done on them over on the other forums by sawzall warriors, that this is a change.
I'd like to know how he managed to need the engine built twice.
 
"The engine has been completely rebuilt (twice) in the last 3 years. This included new pistons and boring."

You know if it's been rebuilt twice in three years, there's no problems. :eek:

"The seat was custom made from real leather." Wow. Real leather. :cool:

i don't know much about these 2 stroke dirt bikes but as an aside I do know it's a Kawasaki...when I looked at the ad, I noticed "Kawasaki" is written or stamped on it in at least 13 places ! Added to the green, that seems a bit panicky as to "Branding"...

It will probably work on a 1100G just as well, right?

Oh yeah, sure. This is one of the rare parts that will work equally well on ANY model GS. I sure I could have fitted it my 77GS750 with a just a few mods to the frame.
 
Even has one person watching the auction - ready to snap it up. Better act now!
 
Fvcking idiots. Guy has a 100% feedback rating though...how that's possible is a bigger mystery
