Title: Looking for an engine.
Post by: richreid on November 26, 2007, 06:09:12 PM
My beloved 96 GS500E suffered a fatal blow yesterday.  Some asshat decided to shoot up the shopping plaza where I work, and mah GS caught a couple rounds.  Now if it had been a hommie with a mac10, it would be ok.  But no, it had to be a good ole boy, all tanked up on wild turkey, cranking rounds out of a 30.06.  Engine took 4 shots. seat took one.  So angry.  So my sole means of transport is not moving.

I am looking for an engine without a crazy amount of miles, would like a newer one.. but hell, they are all pretty much the same.

I have a motor in some state of assembly,  you're in Ft. Myers, so if you want to, you could actually pick it up.  its $200 or best offer.   you could literally take the stuff you need off it, and put it on your motor, and sell the stuff you dont need on ebay.

I have an extra seat off my '90. If you need a seat replacement let me know. I also have a lower end and heads off a '90.

How much did you have to shell out or it?
