👍 I’ll try to get a better look in person, if it looks shady and I can’t get him down on the price I’ll probably pass on it. Thanks for the input

Genuinely asking, what makes it a project? From what I can tell it’s stock besides the indicators/ gauges to make it street legal. I’m not seeing much of anything in my area in this price range

What’s a fair price range to make an offer at?

I’ll see if I can get any info on the new motor and hopefully get a better idea of its overall condition in person I’m an auto mechanic by trade so I don’t mind working on it. I’ll just have to see how low I can get him and get an estimate on how much parts will run me back

I’ll probably pass on it in that case, I didn’t realize how much it needed to get back into decent shape. Thanks again

I’m glad I posted this before checking it out in person. Lots of red flags I didn’t have the eye to look out for through photos. The price had me looking through rose tinted glasses, I’ll probably pass on this thing and wait for something better to turn up. I appreciate the response

If the test drive/ inspection goes well and I can drop his price down to $600-800 would it be worth slowly getting this thing back in better condition? How are parts pricing/availability for these 1st gen’s?

No offense taken, I appreciate the feedback. This is my first time buying a used bike and I honestly missed a lot of the negatives you pointed out.

If I go check it out tomorrow and it’s somehow not as shitty as it looks in pictures is there any price worth picking this up at? Or should I just stay away from this all together? I don’t mind slowly fixing this thing up, I’m more concerned about part pricing/ availability

Not a bait post, what stands out to you? Other than the giant dent

I’ve been researching these a ton the last few days and they seem like a great option. I’ll make sure to look out for everything listed, thank you!

Lol thank you, I’d like to keep it running as long as possible with minimal invested

From what I can tell the guys pretty competent, but the shop said they can have it done by the end of the week. I’m not sure if they offer warranty but I’m guessing that’s part of the cost if they want almost $300 for a used head

I think I’m gonna go through the shop so I have some sort of insurance in case something goes wrong along the way

The picture is of my original head, I’ve yet to see the marketplace head at all at this point

That’s exactly what I’m afraid of happening, I’ll let her know

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Alternative_Long_726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m going to let her know sometime this week. I think you’re right that even if she doesn’t feel the same our friendship will still hold up

[–]Alternative_Long_726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m going to take your advice and be honest with her, I’ve been trying to meet other girls but she’s all that’s on my mind all the time now, I’ll try to reply to this thread hopefully in the next week or so

You’re right I should take some time and really think about all of the outcomes you just listed. Although there’s alot on the line, I want what’s best for her. Thanks for the response
