I would jump on that in a heartbeat. I'm lookin for a project anyway but I would say the wheels alone are worth the 2 bills.Good luck man.....hope you score!!!!!

Ill wait a few days n see, I run classified's from time to time and this is the only worth while call in two weeks. last year I scored a k3 for 35.00. the K4 has had the engine covers chromes and its flawless a good polishing and theyll look new. theres no speedo so unknown miles and dont know if engines lock from sitting or bad bad things inside.

No sweat about the lock-up.For $200,I figure its a good deal for the wheels alone plus a titled parts bike for free.Hell....how could you lose???

These kinda threads confuse me. You know they're lesters, you know the value of the rims alone, go give the man his $200

well that would bring another issue into play, the wife,  I picked up and old xs 1100 couple weeks ago for 250. im waiting or her to forget that one.
