szurszewski Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Note the salvage title. Yeah, but it's got a genuine BeadRider beaded seat cover, so...that pretty much balances out (Sorry - no offense meant to BeadRider - I actually really like them - just seems like an odd use of one of only nine pics on a five digit bike.)

Dennis Andress Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Salvage title ain't a bad thing... until you file a claim on your insurance and they use the salvage as an excuse to cut what they pay out. Link to comment
Charles Elms Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Agree, a salvage title is not bad in itself. However I would want to know exactly why a salvage title was issued, i.e. what was damaged and repaired, and by whom. Link to comment

He's got that one (looks like a 2005-2013 RT saddlebag) on backwards. Oh sure. $8k and I'm sure that it's been meticulously maintained. Probably got the plugs in backwards and held in place with bondo. Link to comment

Dennis Andress Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 1970's brakes... A compression ratio and head design that can produce heart stopping detonation. Most often solved by installing two cylinder base gaskets. A not so stiff frame. The Germans called them "Kümi Kuh" for rubber cow. The seat is horrible. All of which isn't as bad as it sounds. My R100 S weighed around 425 lbs with bags. The engines all had the same stroke. Different jugs and heads were used for the different displacements. The R 80s and R100/7 got 36 mm carbs. The R100 RT, RS, and S got 40 mm. The bigger cars made more horse power at WFO, the smaller carbs made more power down low. I'd take the smaller carbs over the big ones if I were to do it again.

Not all that much, really. I had a '79, from 2001 - 2005. Bought it from a friend, who had several of a similar vintage. One thing he said was "with these older bikes, you can work on them yourself. The newer ones, you can't. Ya gotta have special this and that, blah blah blah...." What I found was that not only could I work on it myself, but that I actually HAD TO. And that was kindof a PITA for a daily driver in marginal condition, but might be ideal for a sunday driver. And It'll handle like a school bus compared to a modern bike. But they're a lot of fun, and can be very rewarding, if you're interested in them. Link to comment

Big bro and I converted a Bultaco 360 Pursang MX chassis and motor to race Flat Track. Aside from a lighter flywheel and a down swept expansion chamber we needed to get it to steer quicker, soooo, we fitted fork sliders off an Alpena trail bike with the axle off backwards. It got a lot of snickers in pits. The last laugh was ours though because not only did it work, it made the bike able to change its line right through the apex of the turn. Made a lot of money at the race track with that mongrel of a bike. Link to comment
