Title: I bought one Sat for 5 bucks!
Post by: albertinhouston on April 05, 2009, 06:42:31 PM
Actually $5.25  it come with salvage title.
going to buy some carbs and give a go.  When I drained the oil there wa very little water in it. took off the valve cover and it ws very clean inside. I have replacement  body parts from my OLD bike u have in my attic.
I think I can get it runin for under $300 bucks!
bandit rear rim.

I think that's got to be a record. Are you going to make it a track bike or what?

Edit: Never mind, for some reason I thought I read that it didn't have a title.  :cookoo:

Got any pictures? That has to be a record for the best price paid.

No, I got one for $0 recently from a GS board member. It was in the "for sale" section and I replied first. It had a clean title and everything. I'm almost ready to put it back on the road, just need to do the valves and mess with the carbs a bit more...

Nice, until I find somebody to pay me to take one of their hands the record belongs to fred.  :icon_lol:

Before and after pictures would be cool. If you're going to go do all the work, might as well show it off...

I picked up a used Honda CB450 Nighthawk two years ago for $0.00. It didn't run but I started with the basics and found that it only needed a new fuse. I cleaned her up, had the seat recovered, changed the oil and sold her for a nice bit of pocket change.
