I have to admit, I would likely clean that yard for $150... 3 sets of forks, swingarms, wheels, and random engine parts? Yeah, I'd be there...

Just a lot too far away for me...

This is why there are shrinks

That's actually pretty neat, clean it up as is and it would make a cool art bike.

Or, park it in a barn and let someone find it 75 years from now... Imagine that.

To be fair, he did point out a minor problem, getting the power to the back wheel, pffffft.
oh, and the install of the 4" hydraulic rams to operate the side stand because this thing would in at the same as a small truck.

Wish I had these

WOW ! ! ! Not often those hit the market in even fair shape. Much less TWO of them in GREAT shape ! ! Good price too ! ! !

Explain to me again why for $11k someone would want this? Cool factor worth that much?

Mini apes, no front brake, suicide shift, 2 foot levers for rear brake?, straight shorty pipes that stoke your right thigh with heat and fill your schnauze with fumes, saddle that looks tough on the nuts especially with the hardtail, open primary belt (maybe wears velcro type sneakers and no bell bottoms). I guess no front fender doesn't matter since the bike has never seen rainy days. Signals not needed when you have arms busy with the suicide shift and navigating the springer front end? Good taillight that can be seen one car length behind you. Headlight that should illuminate at least 13 feet in front of you....oh that's right...you leave it parked after dark. Oh yeah....I had something just like this when I was nineteen....never mind!!
Note: I paid $600 for my old Triumph chopper many years ago. Must be inflation?

Does that have a belt primary drive and a chain final drive? What would be the purpose of that?

Oh, that's right, more parts equals better.

Not necessarily craigslist but:

Am I missing something here? Or am I just ignorant?

The road crews employ him to melt the tarmac with those pipes.

At least it's finished. Not like so many others who get to work with the sawzall and then lose interest.

Yeah. You and I are both ignorant.

I'm trying to decide if this guy is serious or not.
