I have someone who needs parts and would probably be interested in the exhaust. Ill talk to him tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks Abys. I have a sale pending on the exhaust - but the guy is in Houston and seems a little shifty...wanting to western union money and what not. I told him I'd hold it for a week and a half and he's supposed to be sending me a money order. Anyhow, let me know if your boy wants it and I'll give him a shout next week if the money order doesn't come.

The tank is sold. I have a garage full of GS500 parts though, and it's all for sale, so let me know if he's looking for something else.

you parted out your gs????

that's kinda sad, there was alot of work in that bike.

Yup...and yup. Unfortunately it's worth more in parts. I listed it whole a while back and had some interest, but nobody with cash. Just as well though because I didn't feel good selling it to a noob due to the fact that it was so modified, which as you know can make it tough to get it serviced at a shop, and most of the lookers were looking at it for a first bike.

I'm looking for another bike. I want something bigger/more powerful. I'm pretty open to what it is, but I don't want anything that's been abused. I need something stock to mildly modified (prefer just jets and a pipe) that I'm not going to have to fiddle with. Between buying a new house that needs some work and having the baby, I don't have wrenching time, so I just want to ride. So keep your eyes open for me. I'd prefer something sporty...but I really am open to anything. I looked at a Vmax the other day. I'm not much of a cruiser guy...but I'm not doing any track days for a while and the comfort and power of the 'max is appealing.

I don't have all of my cash together yet, but I think I'll have about 3 grand, maybe a little more to spend...I was going to part the XS project out too and buy a new bike, but I just got ridiculous lowball offers on that motor, so I'm going to keep it. When my boy is a little bigger and things settle down I'll resurrect the XS project! I did sell the XS bodywork I had though...so I guess I'll have to learn how to make my own when the time comes!

In any case, give me a shout if you see something in the next month or two you think might be a good deal for me. I'm hoping to have my cash together in another three weeks or so, and buy something before March when prices start going up.
