Various GS500 1988-2000 parts for sale – UK based

CHANGE OF PLAN: It's all going. Check out this thread here. http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=72964.0

Hi all.

After pootling about with my various GS500 projects over the last few years, I've decided (or rather, been told) that some of the crates/bikes/frames/random bits etc in the garage have to go. This means I've got pretty much the equivalent of four full bikes worth of parts (inc frames with V5s) sitting in crates that people can take their pick from. Basically, if you need a part and you're in the UK then give me a shout and I'll go see how many I've got and what state they're in.

Yes, there's usable tanks, plenty of fairings (damaged and undamaged), at least two complete running engines with three or four more in a million pieces, forks in good nick (some with pre-adjusters), bar risers of different heights, more carbs than I could shake a stick at. I'll try taking some pics of what I've got and hosting it somewhere (probably a mate's Instagram) and if anything takes your fancy just make me an offer. 

I'm based near Luton so anyone nearby can collect or if you're within about twenty miles and chuck in some petrol money and I'll happily drop bits off at weekends. Also happy to post stuff if buyer pays postage.

And if anyone would feel safer going via ebay I'll stick selected bits up there with a silly high 'buy it now' price and then you can send me a pre-agreed 'offer' price which I'll accept and we can go through paypal with buyer protection and all that stuff.

And if anyone wants to make a *serious* offer for the whole lot (keep in mind you'd need a large transit van to move them all) then feel free. There's also a working bike (J reg) that a mate was using as a daily rider for a while that I'll probably chuck up here too once we've finished building his café racer.

Cheers, TQM

EDIT1: the first batch of pictures is up. Still a lot more there to go. I'll try and have a crack at packing more bits away next weekend and snapping pics while I'm at it.

EDIT2: Sorry guys and gals but I'm not posting any large/heavy bits farther than Europe. I've had too many bits go missing on the way to the US, Middle East, Australia etc before to be doing it again.

Headlights/indicators/mirrors/tail-lights - various

Notes: The headlight brackets sitting on the baggies seem to be brand new, though the indicators attached to them are used.

Note: One of the headlights is the version without a sidelight

[TQM]

Clocks and carbs

Notes: Two of the carbs look decent - butterflies move freely, slides... well, slide ok - the third looks a bit rubbish and should prob' just be stripped for parts.

Notes: One of the speedos has a snapped mounting bolt, another a faded dial, but should be able to merge the two for a working clock.

Cush drive

[TQM]

Loom/Regulator-Rectifier/Switchgear

Notes: One of the left switch gear has been cut through on the wiring by the previous owner for expediency when he removed the forks. Was told it worked before it was cut so would just need connecting back together.

Notes: Two of the RegRec are 2+3 pins, two are 4+3 pins.

Part complete project bike

If I recall correctly, this is a R reg bike (R715 RRY) with a running engine (though the carbs were rough as hell) with a working clutch, gearbox, exhaust, charging system etc. Of the GS500s I was working on this was the next one on my list to get back on the road. The tank's full of varnish though, so I'd suggest using one of the others.

Fuel tank

Sanded and primered - no dents and looks pretty decent inside. It's got some fork oil splashed on it from where I had to piston a fork by hand.

[TQM]

Fairings

One of the pairs of red rear panels has holes bored in it as the previous owner had pannier frames welded to the frame.

The blue set's all sanded, primed and had its first coat of blue on and that's as far as I got.

Two of the middle sections still have the tabs intact, the third's chipped to buggery.
