Funny thing is I only paid 400 for my other bike 1$ per cc works for me.
1989 GS500E with 88000km
After first view I noticed it needed:
Mirrors
Battery
ignition switch
seat latch
center tail plastic
center stand
ignitor cover
All electrical cleanup
valve cover gasket
gauges (fadded)
tires (45% life left)
paint
lots of corrosion cleanup
carb rebuild
cable lube (frozen cold)
plugs
oil & filter
filter or pods and jet kit
exhaust strip weld and paint
gear selector and selector shaft ( its welded on)
Gas tank looks like black death inside
gas cap with matching key
seat latch release mechanism
I'm really picky though.
Allot I can fix but the reason I jumped on it is because I found a local guy with a parts lot full of 500's and 80% of what I want and need for under $50.
I plan to install modern handle bar triple trees and upright bars
The spare dyna rev limiter I have laying around could go in this thing.
Checking to see what I can get done for cam's, valves and porting.
Checking on availability for pistons, big bore kits, gaskets etc.
Thinking of wrapping the plastics and tank in vinyl.
Looking for idea of what to do to with it.
I'm thinking with 88000 km It's almost due for a complete rebuild.
