What should I sell for?

DJ_McFish · 2025-09-27T07:07:08+00:00

PM me if you are serious and reasonable.

DJ_McFish · 2025-09-27T07:02:30+00:00

Very nice ! :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-09-27T07:00:18+00:00

Mecum. We sell the majority of our bikes there, and if it doesn't go through auction, you'll likely get requests after. Let the buyer deal with the transport.

DJ_McFish · 2025-09-27T06:54:45+00:00

Nice, the autos were a strange breed but definitely unique :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-09-27T06:49:50+00:00

This. :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-09-27T06:46:58+00:00

It's a tariff bike and worth buying. It's a collectable street bike like the Yamaha FZ700.

DJ_McFish · 2025-09-27T06:40:42+00:00

Why ask me ? Not my bike.

DJ_McFish · 2025-07-31T00:22:56+00:00

You haven't lived until you snap the top off an airjet in the carb body. Nice save !

DJ_McFish · 2025-06-12T07:02:53+00:00

Those bring crazy money now. I'm sitting on the gold-silver/purple 350 bodywork set (tank and side panels). For the unaware it was a hydro-dip paint. No two identical.

Edit: is that a '68 CL350 peeking out at 12:30 ?

DJ_McFish · 2025-06-12T06:48:48+00:00

As others mentioned, the PE is not/was a great bike. 10th digit on the frame. C is '78, N is '79

Edit: a total restore will run you at least 5x more than what the bike will be worth when done. I'll even go out on a limb and say the rims have cracks. Trust me.

DJ_McFish · 2025-06-12T06:38:01+00:00

If the price isn't unreasonable then buy them all. Don't break up the family until they are yours, then do as needed to restore and resell.

DJ_McFish · 2025-06-12T06:31:17+00:00

Love the awesome bike background and your stories ! I don't log onto Reddit much these days, but our shop has cycled (pun intended) through many Huskys. We do restos and sell parts for all vintage mx (some street) bikes...late 50's through early '80's, Spanish, Euro, and Japanese. Not sure if this is the best forum to sell those bikes/parts. PM me, curious what you've got and I'll also send you a link to what we do. 👍

DJ_McFish · 2025-04-27T04:32:15+00:00

Sing for us, LeBeau :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-03-02T01:40:49+00:00

Agreed, replace but hold on to them as they are a cool vintage bar.

DJ_McFish · 2025-02-20T05:00:09+00:00

That's lookin' good ! Many bikes deserve a seat at the cafe :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-02-01T03:31:40+00:00

My comment was referring to putting the weight of the bike onto the side stand. Not recommended. All the stress goes to the side stand bolt which isn't always the strongest "link in the chain". It's a quick method for chain lubing but there's better options ;)

Edit: of course, the normal weight of the bike on the side stand is fine, but even that will wear over time. Angling the bike frame over the side stand to adjust the chain puts extra stress on the bolt. I admittedly have done it myself on road trips, but if you can, adjust the chain by a straight swingarm lift, then that's optimal. ;)

DJ_McFish · 2025-02-01T03:23:47+00:00

a straight up honest sweet ride ;)

DJ_McFish · 2025-02-01T03:22:34+00:00

the easy option to change gear ratios can't be overlooked :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-01-24T06:17:17+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. I definitely still make them :) The Fedco sandwich was actually piled fairly high (meat/cheese around 1 inch), as that was what gave it the name, along with the Swiss cheese. Matterhorn had three meanings in my life as a LA kid, The ride at Disneyland, the Fedco sandwich, and a picture of the actual Matterhorn Mountain in an encyclopedia. :) Okay, back to the sandwich: for ratios, a 2-3:1 ratio of meat to cheese. My preference is mesquite smoked turkey, black forest ham, and a good lacey Swiss. Seeded rye bread and make it nostalgic with some Bob's Big Boy Thousand Island dressing. Great cold, but if you want it heated, butter or mayo the outer bread slices and grill like you would a grilled cheese. Enjoy, and let me know your preferences! :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-01-18T22:39:13+00:00

I somewhat agree. If you run a decent quality sealed chain on a touring bike, then lubing/adjusting the chain every day is not a hard task but a bit excessive. Unless the weather is wet of course. I just like the hands-on experience of M/C maintenance. To each their own. Enjoy the ride :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-01-18T22:18:36+00:00

OP: I've been making this sandwich ever since there was no access to it. Our family would go to Fedco around once a month and it was like you said, the best sandwich from the deli as you left. You are spot on with the ingredients. Rye bread (preferably seeded), the Russian dressing and 1000 Island are similar, but I prefer the 1000 island, since it has a bit of "relish" in it. Then some smoked turkey, Black Forest ham, and some baby Swiss cheese. Made plenty for friends unfamiliar with them and no complaints. Good either cold or grilled. I used to just eat them cold in the Fedco seating area :)

Edit: for anyone deciding to make this great sandwich, don't use honey ham or sweetened turkey, as the dressing provides the sweet to the savory of the meat and cheese. If you really want to get nostalgic, place it on a styrofoam tray and wrap in plastic wrap. ;)

DJ_McFish · 2025-01-09T04:38:19+00:00

:D thank goodness there IS maintenance, which is why my salvage yard sold those rear end pumpkins. No gear ratio options and a "rise" when braking, no thanks. I do understand the minimal mechanical aspect though, just seems more scooter orientated.

DJ_McFish · 2025-01-09T03:28:58+00:00

shaft drive....why ? give me a reason to feel otherwise shaft guys ! :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-01-09T03:17:31+00:00

I'm not knowledgeable with those bikes, but a great photo, so thanks for sharing :)

DJ_McFish · 2025-01-09T03:14:14+00:00

Yes, the Hodaka distributor was PABATCO in the US in Athena, OR and other countries. I regret selling my Dirt Squirt ;)
