That could be a hard sell. Good clutch bikes are going for around 9K. I suspect the seller thinks it is worth that much as is. As nice and new as it is, I wouldn't give more than 5K for it

Hi Guys

Do you think a good fab shop could turn this into a nice chopper like bar bike ,,, would look at keeping it simple ,,, would want a new style gas tank and such ,,, any input would be appreciated ,,, would also need to look at importing in Canada.

Thanks Mike

[Carl La Fong]

A good shop can turn it into anything you want. If it were mine, I'd put a Ranger two speed in it. I am a bit biased, however.
If you bid and win, I'm only 50miles from the bike. I can transport it to The Fongderosa until you arrange shipping to Canada

Thanks Mr. La Fong

I know nothing about these bikes and appreciate your input ,,, I have already bid and am currently the highest bidder (but haven't met reserve) ,,, I will confirm it's importable into Canada before elevating my bid.

Again ,,, thanks for your help ,,,

BUT there is a 2004 Boss Hoss bike complete but tarnny is gone / toast / fubbered and I think it could be had cheap..has Kewl Metal front end already..great great platform for a start

Hi Barry

Thanks for the input ,,, my thoughts are something different then what I already have ,,, I already have the kewlmetal fronts on my boss's ,,, was thinking bare-bones bobber kind of thing ,,, no panels ,,, just old school chopper ,,, maybe a little gas tank to show the engine more ,,, I won't go without good brakes and such but go oldy on the rest ,,, even though I am not a fan I would consider staying with the car tire on the back and maybe a really fat or really thin tire on the front.

Regards Mike

Pretty good bones to start with as long as the price is right. He says he has a radiator. I wonder if there is anything else not listed in the ad???
I have a clutch, maybe a flywheel, not sure and a first generation sliding block swing arm. If you buy the bike, you can have it all.
I think a guy could hammer together a pretty cool beater, bar hopper for a little money and some time

[Gila]

Roger that and Thanks again ,,, I'm in a bidding war with someone ,,, Will see where it ends ,,, even though I have never been a fan I like the idea of a chain drive on a older style bike ,,, would also welcome the manual clutch if that's the best direction to take.

Gila, did you win?

[Carl La Fong]

Looks like the seller shut down the auction. It was at the same bid for 3 or four days. Never reached reserve. I still think he probably had an inflated idea of the value. Real nice clutch bikes are going for 9 or 10K on a good day. I know how much the kit was and how much the engine cost back when they were new. Today is a different world. Again, I'd be hard pressed to give much more than 4 or 4.5K for it. 5, if there were a few boxes of additional goodies to go with it.

I was out-bid before it ended ,,, but the other guy didn't bid enough ,,, I sent the seller an email without reply ,,, oh well ,,, I guess it wasn't meant to be ,,,
