    Seen on CL today: asking price is $4500 CDN At that price, I'd expect none of the floats to be sticking:

    Gs750 tank, 1976 wheels, custom seat and clipon handle bars. New chain and sprockets, rebuilt harness and cleaned carbs, rebuilt brakes, integrated tail light, aftermarket foot levers, shifter and instruments. Has both electric and kick start.

    All work professionally done by previous owner.

    One of the carb floats is sticking.

    $4500 seems only fair - I mean, he probably spent a lot on that cool exhaust wrap. And aren't you supposed to recover every penny you put into it when you sell? Plus, that's not just any seat - it's a custom seat.
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

      Gawd, almost no travel on the forks, itsy, bitsy pods, no mudguards and those rear-sets are so high your knees'll be in your chest! Oh, and a float is sticking.....

          The price always increases depending on how many screw ups have been installed with maximum potential being reached when it no longer runs and parts are missing or broken. LOL

            No fork brace either, the GS and most all bikes have a fork brace built into the fender.

                And no attempt at all to clean it up for you! I really wonder how some of these sellers stay in business.
