Good news.Got the bikes.Bad news.No paper work,1 engine is locked,the other I can turn over with a screw driver,both front ends are beyond repair,both front wheels are bad,along with the all rotors,both tanks are gone on the bottom,1 set of carbs are so bad I may not be able to save them,other set of carbs are badly damaged.No clue how carbs get beat to death.Looks like I bought some scrap metal.I don't even have enough parts to finish project lite wait.I'll start on them next week and see what nuts and bolts I can salvage.

Oh yea.The red bike chucked it's oil out the carbs and back up into the tank.It must have been on it's side for a long time to do that.It's also the one that's locked up.

Ben... You need to hook me up with one of those headers. I found another motor in my shop so I can build another track bike.

I was thinking the same thing. 

I found some reflectors and stock turn signals once.

I lose washers and grommets and stuff like that a lot, like stuff that can roll, bounce or just plain walk away ... 
Cool.

Where do you hide a motor at..  Ive forgotten about tools in my garage  and work area.. but a motor...that must be one big shop..

oh hey ben if you start to tear into one of the motors and find that you dont need a crank and some other parts  (i have a list)   please let me know.. Going to try to rebuild  the my motor where the rod bolt came undone. and dgyver has me halfway there with parts(thank god)  and i would like to make it the rest of the way..

As soon as I get a chance to go thru the bikes.I will return pm's and send pm's to people that want parts. 

Damn I need an engine, do u know if the motor works on it, whoever buys it ill be interessted in purchasing a motor if the rest of the bike is fuked up.... .

I know that both engines are dead.My plan is to put the 2 together and hopefully with a top end rebuild have an engine for my 90 GS.The bike with the busted ignition cover has a bent crank.

dude thats a good deal even with the problems, cant beat that. 

Quote from: ben2go on June 02, 2008, 07:43:19 PMStarwalt,you will have the VINs.Do you need them for my 89 & 90?

Sure man. I will add them to the database in the non-auction section.

Who knows? You may have the high VIN # for those years.

Just PM me - no hurry though. Work is going to be ugly for the next four weeks.

Glad you got your self two....<ahem> projects

I have bought 12, and sold 10, I currently own 2. However Jared possibly has me beat.
For me though the bike has to get put back on the road with full paperwork, else I dont count it. So I dont buy titleless wonders, and part it out. If I buy it without title, I'll get it titled before I am done and I'll use it till its sold.
Cool.
Buddha.

I have bought 12...and sold 8...I think....That includes my original 89 I bought (black-my first bike..) in 91...
3 Were parts bikes that got busted down...(One that Srinath bought from me..).

Currently I have 2 " rideable" Gs's and a third back burner project I may never get back to.....


So no I don't have you beat.....Close or a tie at best...

Oooooo ... a tie ... isn't that insane ...
Anyway, Your frame is with me, that is my #12 ... and I have GR motor in it, now does it count as a GS ... yea I counted it in my 12. Didn't count the frame I passed on to werase, it had a title ... But a frame is a frame, not a bike.
Cool.

...

I have 20+ storage boxes with mostly GS parts. They are stored on 2 sets of pallet racks.
I started building another engine using a GS450 bottom end. I thought I only had 1... but apparently I had bought a 2nd and forgot about it. It was next to the GR boxes so I may have thought it was one of them.

Yea ... the GS parts should be socialised with the GR's ... they will be more GR like ... 
Cool.

I have a Q about the GS450 engine.Is it a 6 speed and is the crank stronger than the GS?I think we talked about this but I'm kinda in a fog from all this heat.

Its got a roller bearing crank.
Cool.
Buddha.

Cool.It'll handle a little more pow wow than the GS crank.No more snapin cranks when used with a giant over bore.

The GS450 has the same crank as the GS500. My 97 has a GS450 crank in it. I have another GS450 crank sitting on my bench if you want to see it.

The only motors I have seen that use roller bearings are 2-stroke.

I'm sure I'll be your way soon.
