    Going to look at another basket case '80 GS1100E

    I probably won't be getting it as he thinks that he is one of our members from the LA area and believes that it is made from pure 24K gold.
    He says that he has $800 into it (so what???) and doesn't run.
    He also says that he painted it some ugly orange color a couple of years ago.
    You can barely make out the color on the fender in this pic.
    And, that #3 carb is leaking fuel the last time that he rode it 3 years ago.



    It is about 65 miles each way to see it but, I can ride through Genoa to get there and back.

    Either way, I will have a nice 4th of July ride.

    Man I feel your pain- I can't even count how many dogs I went to see.
    The one I did buy current- was listed as mint condition- LoL
    Broken float post, 2 burned out pistons and a blown head. Mint Condition.
    I bet the fuel leak in 3 is fixed and plugged and filled with varnish by now@!
    Good Luck- it's hard.

      That "$800" he's got into the bike, is likely what he "purchased" the bike for. Then realized how bad he got taken for, now he's looking for another sucker to pawn it off to!

        I didn't get to check that one out yesterday as he had prior appointments.
        Called this morning and pretty much the same deal.
        Trying to hook up tomorrow.
        He is a good 'ol country boy and we will get along just fine.

          Where is it at?
          I'd offer $350 at most since the motor is worth that if good.

            Just over the State line towards Bishop,CA.
            I am aware of that.
            If it was near LA, "I could sell that for $1,000 in parts."
            He has a clear title and has owned it for years.

              Finally going to make the hour and a half (Or more) trip each way to see it.
              If it doesn't have the tank/seat part on it, mine is no longer for sale.

                Pic's!

















                He had to pay back TAXES/FINES/ETC.as it had a Cali****youfornia title.
                Wiring problems from the previous owner and he painted over the Krylon special previous paint job.
                New Saddleman seat cover and rebuilt brake calipers.
                Forks polished and leaking oil.
                He bought a new Avon rear tire for it and the front was fairly new.
                He was stuck on getting $800 for it and I was not impressed.
