    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

As most here can testify, I'm the least knowledgeable, least likely to DIY. But I'm going to venture a guess that you can't actually use a "slightly bent" rotor on a bike, correct?

Well, buy it, try it and let us know.
 
I had a bent disc for awhile. it worked but was annoying and I could see how it could have been dangerous.

Ridiculous price aside, it doesn't look that bad. It looks like the back end may still be intact, but it's hard to tell with a bunch of pictures that are basically the same.
Agreed on the wood floor. It would probably smell forever if gas got on it.

The crank end sticker is askew but looks new. Maybe thats what finally broke the guys will?

A bent or warped rotor is basically scrap metal. I warped my rear on my Kbike and it produced hellish pulsation in the rear brake pedal.
Their is some degree of corection that can be made by surface grinding I suppose but the tolerance on a disc is pretty small. Not much metal to remove before its too thin for service.

Actually its shocking that you see so much pure junk on ebay perhaps the breakers use minions with no knowledge of the purpose and functioning of the parts? min wage lackeys that simply post an ad for every bit that comes off a teardown?

I wonder if its true that ebay started with the sale of a broken laser pointer...........purchased by a guy who just happened to collect broken laser pointers.

I used to tell computer clients it was a broken mouse pad. Surprising how many said, "Oh. Can it be fixed?"

I don't think that guy knows what a worthless turd he has there. Likely no title either. That wouldn't be worth picking up if it were FREE... I think he should have left it in the other barn, lol...
 
Aw c'mon, that thing should buff out rather nicely. Maybe another case of a misplaced decimal in the price.

The upper portion of the seat might be worth something - to some homeless hornets. :p

And any '82 or '83 11e owner would give his small finger for such easy battery access. I'd bid $10 - if the storage space was included.
 
All that unsprung weight will make those nasty bumps worse.
Lights are probably crap. Those flat sided parts were a lot easier to make.


Sort of a Honda Grom meets Mad Max meets too much hp, except lots of riders have good fun with those Groms.
