I'll take the whole bike if disassembling turn out to be too much work.

I made an offer for the dizzy.
Not that far away from the asking price already!
And the bike would still be a roller!

This is easy!

100 for front wheel if no damage, you keep the rotors... So long as it is a Morris

The front wheel looks like a Morris, too. I think it's just the angle of the pic.
 
After taking a closer look, I agree the front wheel is a Morris.

other side of motor
The rusty cylinder looks like the butt-end of an automotive ignition coil.

Front wheel is definitely a Morris...not a Lester.  Look at the curvature of the spokes...Lesters are not curved like that in the middle.

I can't believe no one's forked over $600 for this yet.

If I had $600 that the wife didn't know about I would get it for you guys. The person I thought that was going to buy hasn't done so. So I'm not sure if it's still available.

More like a free rusty project. Which I don't have the money or time for. Also I don't have space for all left over parts. Plus All the work it's gona take to disassemble, especially with the rust. Also all the packaging/shipping. If you can make it worth my wild than I might consider it. if I had the time and space I would say deal, but I don't. Sweeten up the deal and maybe we can work something out. I'll call the guy tomorrow and see if he still has it.

Well now he is listing that he will part it out.
Enough parts have been called dibs here to cover the price of addition already.

I agree this would not b pe a good project bike.
But part the good stuff out and toss the rest in the trash.

Please someone grab it

Rewr wheel $100
Carbs $100
Shocks $50
Tank $50
After that is all gone take the motor out of the frame.  Place motor on bench.
Cut up frame and toss is.
Now you are a couple of hundred in the green, with little taking up space.
Bet you there are interesting parts in that motor....

Can even front the money.
While I would not speak for 754, I know when he says he will buy something he does too.

I haven't gotten the seller to respond to my emails yet.
I assume many have emailed him wanting parts, so now he is going to part it himself.

Somebody on Monday was coming to buy a bunch of bikes and that was one that he was wanting in  the deal. The seller would rather sell it whole than part it out.
