Title: Just a little input
Post by: VTNewb on October 31, 2004, 07:25:25 PM
My ad in the FOR SALE section

Am  I asking the proper price here? I've never sold a bike before.

$350 for a running bike is not a bad deal.  Hold your price.  You may have to wait till spring to sell it but it will sell.

Even despite the lack of ignition coil?
Title: coilis...

Coil is generic  ... anything will work. It should just be the type and viltage compatible... like 2 leads from each coil with 1 going to one cyl and another to another cyl... heck my vulcan V twin and eliminator I 4 used the same coils... the vulcan just had 2 spark plugs in each cylinder... It has 12 volt electricals and 1 coil per cyl and is 2 cyl... Just anyhitng off a similar one, and in fact JC whitney sells some cheap. Just try those. BTW if you didn't want to... you can always have it run on 1 cyl, swap the leads over and run the wire to other cyl and make it run on the other cyl ... there by the buyer knows that is the only issue.
Cool.

Good point sri. Thanks! I'm slowly winter storing it so I put the battery inside ona  trickle charger but I lost the washer that the screw goes into, the damn batter has very funnily shaped contact points, bleh.
