Buy that fork he's got too and I'll buy the swing arm off ya!

Give that fork a hairy eyeball... looks a little bent maybe?

you're right, I do!

I will report out what he says about the condition. I don't have to be the one to get it.

I assumed the fork itself was trash. I just need a swing arm! And he's local pickup only for it so…

No worries if you ain't down John. I totally understand, but if you do I'll definitely buy the swing arm from ya

ok if I go the fork will get snatched. I doubt anyone's gonna scoop that based on the fender condition - the fork is likely borked, but yeah the parts may be useful.

Johnny mule, embracing the way of kajiit.

Excellent! Lemme know if it pans out

He knew what he wanted. You just threw him into the briar patch.

It's contagious!

And , leaves red spots!

("Briarpatch" that's how you get that rash. uh-huh)

it was the toilet seat at the airport, I swear!!

looks too waterlogged for my tastes, i'm out!

Briar patches always remind me of this Irish anonymous poem

" They buried them both in the old graveyard,
All side and side each other.
A red, red rose grew out of his grave,
And a green briar out of hers.

They grew and grew so very high
That they could grow no higher;
They lapped, they tied in a truelove knot—
The rose ran 'round the briar.

Stella front fork and headset for a P-series conversion: $500

looks to be my a reputable source.

$Free.99:

Set of VBC brake pads. Bought these on accident. They're for 8" wheels. Happy to send to the first DM I get!

Edit: If you're reading this, you were too slow. Spoken for!

Looks like wide body frame? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/466488349268079

Looks legit. LML motor $800. Maybe you could knock a couple off. Says it's never been used.

Legit-ish. It has a reed block, but no oil injection (I assume that's what he means by "no premix."). If you don't care about autolube, that's a not-terrible (but also not smokin') deal.

It looks like it doesn't include an exhaust, so figure it's about a $1000 motor, all in unless you have a pipe on the shelf you want to use.

Maybe a dealish... Rob Hodge mentioned many years ago that many of these engines were assembled by outside parties and not always up to the same level as the factory built ones.
