Anyone looking for a cheap project R*??? 4 Years, 11 Months ago  
I usually don't post my bikes that I sell on here as I hate to mix business with friends, but I figured someone might like this deal. I have taken in a 2001 R* that runs great, but needs some cosmetic help. It is complete and the tank and fenders are very straight, but the paint isn't in the best shape (looks good from 10 feet away) and the motor could use some paint touched up. It has a good set of Metzlers, but for some reason it has a white wall on the front and black on the rear. I put it on the lift today and found the cover for the coasting enrichener cracked so I have a new one coming and am cleaning the carb while I have it off. It has a hypercharger that someone painted black and it looks bad, but could probably be brought back to life. Anyway, if anyone is interested, after the service I will be right at $2500 in it and that is what I will take.

Don't do that then - pretty wives (that let you have 3 bikes) are hard to find!

Sounds like a great opportunity...and IF I wasn't in the middle of fixin up the place gettin ready to sell ( $3500 so far) I'd be a candidate, I would like to try a "project" bike and see what I could make..
