Well I finally took the plunge and a 1986 model is now in my possession.
Price was right (couldn't afford a "perfect" runner) but she needs a LOT of TLC and new parts / pieces.
I've been told she has a John Sands 1500cc motor and megacycle cams (TBD).
Works shocks and a fork brace (can see those). Progressive springs in the forks.
Stainless line and new rear disc. Supertrapp Slip ons. BRACED swing arm.
BUT--she has had two tip overs and there are dents at ends of the Supertrapps, The shifter is bent, the pegs are rashed, the peg holders are bent, The front master cylinder has some road rash, the brake lever end is rashed, the case guards on both sides are rashed and deformed in shape. The return throttle cable is frayed. The tires were "born" in 2010 (metzlers) Do they even make them anymore?? Turn signals that have some rash. Turn signals at the moment do not work. Electrical issue or "relay" maybe?? Ideas / thoughts comments welcome please.
Although carbs were cleaned by previous owner the ol' gal is only running on two cylinders. Maybe some "gunk" slipped through and has gotten into the jets again TBD.
Goodiies included
An Earls aftermarket oil cooler which is a really nice custom built assembly.
EXTRA Full set of carbs
Corbin seat--recovered and modified.
OEM stock seat.
Bike needs a GOOD wash, clean and polish--not ready to display pix yet.
So at the moment I have a Max that needs a LOT OF LUV and I hope I didn't get into a money pit.
First order of business is a compression check by a local mechanic and see what he finds.
In the meantime would like to start buying a few needed items.
Prefer to buy from members to help put money in their pockets rather than salvage yards etc.
Looking for:
Right side OEM master cylinder
Throttle cables--BOTH--as close to new as possible.
Left AND Right side footpeg assemblies (brackets and complete peg assemblies--non rashed please)
Goodies included with bike.
An Earls aftermarket oil cooler. This is a really nice custom built assembly.
EXTRA Full set of carbs
Corbin seat--recovered and modified.
OEM stock seat.
Partial set of OEM Bodywork--air box cover, front and rear fender.
I'm open to any / all comments and will appreciate the sharing of knowledge.
Please PM me with any items you might be able to spare / part with. Let me know an asking price Shipped to Ga at 30542.
Thanks in advance to all
