Since some of you may know of the troubles I have had regarding the title of my bike (see quoted post below), I am debating on parting it out. I can't register it and ride it, obviously, so it would be a shame to let it sit and rot after all the hard work I've done with it.
My question is: would there be a large enough interest in the parts to justify the part-out?

I now have a proper rant:
Did you know that you can't "float" a title if it originates at a pawnshop/dealer in Florida? I learned that recently. You know why? BECAUSE THE [omitted] WHO BOUGHT THE BIKE ORIGINALLY FLOATED THE TITLE THROUGH AT LEAST TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHEN THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAD RECEIVED A BILL OF SALE STATING IT HAD BEEN SOLD TO HIM!!! So now I have a "Limbo" title, because since he never went and put the bike completely in his name, the state says the title needs to be fixed. Here's the catch: the only information the pawn shop could give me (under the counter, thank you understanding manager!) was the bastard's name. So now I have to attempt to hunt him down to resolve the issue, jump through legal hurtles, or part the bike out to attempt to recoup my losses. My bike has now officially become hell. I had even done my research to make sure it wasn't stolen or reported missing or anything, but there was no way I could have foreseen this because I'd never encountered anything like this before. >:( >:( >:(
So now I'm kind of stuck while I try to get a proper title for the bike so I can do ANYTHING with it! GGGRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I'm so pissed off, you all have no idea. . . >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns:

That's another option I'm looking into. . . :thumb:
I'll take your gas tank.
I checked with a couple people who parted out their gs and they said it was worth it
I need a new engine, so... yeah?

And mine has a nice paint job on it. . . ;)
I'll let you all know as soon as I get more information. . . though parting out is most likely to happen. . .
PM me directly as soon as that engine becomes available. I'll pick it up in a heartbeat.

Shipping it could get expensive. . . its pretty heavy. . .

If the tank is undented I'd snap it up!
How much for the ' round' cover which says Suzuki on the throttle side:
