I have a 1988-90 GSXR front end for sale.  I acquired it in a purchase i made last year from a guy in Chicago.  I bought two GS500's and a van full of parts from him.  He used to race them both in the modified and stock classes.  The front end comes with everything you see in the pictures.  My asking price is $400 plus shipping to wherever.

(To figure out your shipping cost please see the bottom of this post














Left and right forks (assembled)
Bottom and top triple tree
Clip ons
Steering stem
Bracket for steering damper
Fender
Nissin 4 pot caliper with brake lines + reservoir
Brake rotor
GSXR front rim in need of paint (3.5" wide)
Metzler race tire with plenty of good tread left (120/70/17zr)



If you have any questions about this item other than, "How much will shipping cost me?" please feel free to ask.

To help you figure out your shipping cost, use this information.  The package will be shipped from zip code 60089, measure 36x25x15", and weigh 65 pounds. 


Thanks, Bob!

Josh buddy...  *sad face*


I'm going to explain this to you politely.


You Do Not Ever! enter someones, "For Sale" thread and tell them they are charging too much money.  It's disrespectful to that person.  If you have a question about the item, ask it.  If you want to buy the item, then do so.  If neither of those things applies, then chances are you need to keep your mouth shut.  It's just that simple.


Now, you compared my listing of $400 plus shipping to a listing on eBay that's $503.94 including the shipping cost.  And based on that, you state, "$400 is a bit much".

1)  The listing on eBay doesn't include a rotor, rim, or tire.  Add ($400)

2)  The listing on eBay requires machining work to make fit.  Add (no clue...  Let's say 100)

So, now that we've adjusted the prices accordingly, it's $400.00 plus shipping for my listing, and $1003.94 including the shipping cost for the listing you posted on eBay...


Do you still feel i'm charging a bit much for this FE?

Because honestly, after crunching the numbers, it seems to me like someone is getting a great FE at a great price.


Peace

well i guess you were offended but yes i stil do.  your fe 1 brake caliper and rotor 01-02 double calipers.  shipping on your fe to my door 70 bucks so yours is getting closer to that price and the other fe is 11-12 yrs older and in your post no where does it say bolt on ready you might want to add that if werase is correct when he states that someone can pay you 400 for your fe and bolt it right into there gs.  Or does it need to have the big spacers made for it like his fe had to have.  I was trying to be nice  oh and i found a gsxr rim and same tire for 40 bucks on ebay.  but really i wasnt trying to offend you i was just showing you i know its not the same fe.  i just figured if you really wanted to sell it and seen the other one you might lower your price a bit to get rid of it.  sorry man.  good luck with the sale.

Joshr08,
it is really inconsiderate to bash a for sale post

Bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ... Joshr08 ... you pissed off the werase ... bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ...
Nothing to say, just staring at the train wreck ...
Cool.
Buddha.

BTW since I sell kat FE's I'd point out 1 small point on this FE.
You'd never be able to get the GS guages on this, but you'all already knew that.
Cool.
Buddha.

So, is this already modified to bolt into a GS500 ? 

Does the frame neck need spacers pressed in for this? I'm confused. 

No, never put spacers in the frame.

The spacers only go in the stem above and below the lock nut. If it even needs spacers.

I have katana FE's I have stems modded and carriers made that will let you run it without spacers ever, and the guages can be fitted on the triple. The ignition lock will work, it actually looks like it came from the factory that way.

No wheel/tar, you use GS one, no fender and fork brace either. My method only uses 5 parts only 1 of which is even modified.

Cool.
Buddha.

Yes, but if I buy any more parts from you, Buddha, I will be a) Broke or b) bludgeoned to death by my mailman or c) both of the above



p.s. the thaw is starting up here.  Lemme know when you want $$ for that exhaust and shock.

Thaw, thaw, you have thaw ... we're back in the freezing miserable rain over here.
OK I better get my work all done and start getting these out and getting it done.
Cool.
Buddha.

man, people get their feelings hurt fast about a price question. (shrug)

bump for a interesting sale

the point is......
you don't go on e-bay and post a question to the seller....."hey you want too much for your stuff, look there is another one(not the same) in this link that is different for less"
it is not a question. 
you just don't bid on it


this is not my part for sale
it is a principal i feel needs to be addressed
it is probably in Da Rules but i haven't read them either

We do that all the time to fleabay dirt bags.
However its their option to publish it. Only a fool ignores what the rest of the market is doing and prices things out of proportion with what the market will bear.
Like this piece of sheite -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-Suzuki-GS-500-WileyCo-Muffler-USED_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQhashZitem270166238782QQitemZ270166238782QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Sitting for 4 years on fleabay. Ebay should start charging @ the time of listing. It will clear out these Idiots and smarten them up fast.

The sellers typically never check what their items sell for (not list for, but sell for), and buyers never fail to check what is the lowest price. If you have a POS bike lets say a ninja 650 like this one - http://atlanta.craigslist.org/mcy/1080763632.html

And a dealer is selling these 07/08's new at 4979 like this one -
And there are many other dealers - this was just 1 I knew about (they have over a dozen over there - new 07 ninja 650's) and in fact there may be even better deals had by calling Team charlotte, Corral, and other kawi stores.
http://www.cycletrader.com/find/listing/2007-Kawasaki-Ninja%26%23174%3B-650R-94815278

Guess what, like water, buyers will find the lowest. That $5200 3k miler will sit till all the $4979 new ones are sold.

Having said that whole naughty place monologue ... the 400 for the GSXR FE complete with tar, etc etc is not bad at all. I have not had any problems selling out kat FE's and even more interesting, I am selling the modded parts faster than I can make them, meaning someone is pulling the rest off ebay ... sorta explains why the cheaper decent ebay crap is almost non existent nowadays.

However it is thread dumping though, and we need to find the Joshr08 (I have his address so I seek volunteers) and spank him.  :icon_twisted:So how about we have a GSTwin spank crew, complete with the shady white panel van and driver with mutton chop moustache ... and yes girls are welcome on the spanking crew, in fact we actively invite them, and we are sending a camera crew along to post it on youtoobe, myspace and other assorted slightly seedy websites.

Cool.
Buddha.

The kat FE business is nearly too heavy to ship IMHO.
Only special parts are - the correctly shortened stem muhahahaha ... and a carrier system for the GS guages (which I make and can be shipped anywhere for 5 bucks inside US). Its really counterproductive to spend big $ shipping these things place to place.
So, Flea bay the legs, the rotors and brake system and triples with stem, send me stem and pay for machining and the carriers and It will come back in a couple days. That may be the least expensive and most useful idea I have on this subject.
Again stem machining is 50 bucks and the bearings can be reused. You save 30 bucks with this method over a GS stem swap.
Carriers - dunno if I am making them for sale, but if I do, I'd go with 40-50 bucks. I will need to test them, I dont want to have these have a design flaw and hence not work.
Shipping 10.35 inside US. 100-110 + whatever you pay on fleabay.
Cool.
Buddha.

how big are those tube (MM) same as kat or bigger?

43mm, kat is 41.
Cool.
Buddha.

i'm in a really good mood this afternoon, so take this as a guy with 2.3 beers already down, another 3.5 on the way....

Dude ! It's just a for sale thread, hell it's not even yours ! C'mon down to B'ham and we'll go for spin in the twisties, when we stop at the top of the mountain and look at the view, if you want, you can Buddha Loves You about stuff people post online, and I'll check our tire pressures while you do.

Seriously, this is a comparison of prices, types of front ends, and stuff.

If it really matters, you could ask a moderator to remove all the non-relevant posts (including yours) and give the thread a free bump every couple of days for a GOOD deal on a GREAT front end.

that's all (free bump)
