Who wants to make an investment?

[makenzie71]

The missus has told me I can have a 540i if I clean my shaZam! up...so who has free time and wants to make some money?

I'm selling everything except the bike I ride, my buggy, and the tools related to working on either. I did a rough inventory of what I have and we're looking at roughly $12,000 worth of stuff on eBay. Motorcyle parts, the 150cc GY6 super crazy monkey bike, go kart stuff, atv stuff, engines, tools, equipment, tires, wheels, computers, and probably a fair bit of scrap metal.

I'm asking $5,000 for everything I got. There's one item I have that will bring that back on eBay. This will require a little space, some time (that I simply don't have), and a little effort and someone can EASILY double the investment.  Everything is in Lubbock, TX and everything has to go at once.

That's it. If anyone might be interested in helping me get my 540i hit me up. Post or PM.

If you are getting a 540, you may want to keep your tools   E39?  I had one a few years back.  Something always needed attention.  Got rid of it before it broke the piggy bank.  I sure do miss that big V8. 

Send me some pics and or a list.  I'm in E Tx, so it's a good drive to you, but there is a possibility it could work

I'll still have plenty of tools.  I would prefer an E34 but I'll probably have en easier time finding an E34 and they're about the same price these days.

Alright guys here's what you're helping me with...





Now not all of that is mine.  My wife is also a touch of the pack-rat.  BUT...she's trying really hard to fix that and simplify her life by trading all of these things she kept for something she would rather have...and she wants me to do it, too.  She's using my lust for an MSport 540 to do it, too lol

This is where I'm starting...this is not all of my motorcycle/atv related stuff, but it's a good portion of it.



This is my '05 R6 bucket.  Frame, swingarm, radiator, seat, rearsets, hand controls, and a few other odds.  There's also a rear wheel but it's seen in another pile.



Tires and wheels pile.  In here we have a complete '98 VFR800 front end (needs fork sealsa nd tire but otherwise great), two GS500/B400 front wheels, matched EX500 wheel set, matched '81 GS750 wheel set + '81 front wheel, and a lot of tires.  Some of the motorcycle tires are okay, but none are great.  There's a lot of ATV wheels and tires...same, some are pretty good but some are only worth the wheel they're wrapped around.  Mostly 8" wheels and tires, two 10x6 fronts with good 20" tires, two 22x10 rear tires in okay shape, a loose 20x8 front, and a collection of 6" and 7" wheels and tires.



Sorry you can't see it, but that's a built K1 GSXR1000 front end in the back in perfect shape other than the gold fading.  Matched set of K1 1000 polished wheels, 400 miles on the Contimotion on the rear, same on the front but there's a touch of weather cracking in it...I can't find it, but the inspection guy told me "it fails".  Who needs inspections anyway (rhetorical).  Rear swingarm from the same bike with that R6 wheel mentioned earlier mounted (tire not included...it's not that great anyway).  Also includes '03 600 swingarm and tank...tank has a couple of small dents and is rusty on the inside but fixable.



I'm not done sorting all my other bins into this this lot.  From left to right...

Suspension links, dogbones, shocks, lights, and clocks.
Brake calipers, masters, levers, rearsets, pedals, clamps, reservoirs, and mounts.
Coils, CDI's, wiring harnesses, stators, and other electrical components.

All parts ranging from 1974 CB750 to 2008 GSXR1000, including a few Chinese bikes.  It's a variety.



From top to bottom:

A bucket of carburetors.  Some chinese, mostly big four dirtbikes, Polaris, and CB750 and GS750 assemblies.
Lifan 110cc engines and components. None complete but enough to make one complete motor.  These were being used to make some hotrod CT70's...fun little projects.
Bucket-o-bullshit.  Seriously, I just didn't know where to put this shaZam!.

Not visible are the monkey bike (see my other thread or the first post here), all my spare GY6 stuff to go with said monkey bike, and I have several more boxes of shaZam! to sort through before I'm done here.  There is also a COMPLETE Kawasaki EX500 setup with the lower frame rails (meant for a buggy/gokart swap)...full running assembly with carbs and wiring and clocks...whole thing.  A complete VFR800 swingarm with the caliper.  Lots of stuff still to sort and pile up.

That's the motorcycle related stuff.  Not included in this post are the tools and equipment and bins of computer stuff and the other odds and ends I'm parting ways with.  I might have a 110cc four wheeler to throw in there, too, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to overcome my 2 year old daughter's interest in it yet lol

This is not a tenth of the value of the lot...it's simply the stuff that most needs to go.

Wow......  That's a lot of stuff. No wonder she told you to cleanup and liquidate.

[makenzie71]

That's half of it.  It's not even the money part.  That's basically the stuff I'm demanding be hauled off with the stuff that's actually being bought.
