My question would be, "How did you shatter a choke slide?" and my followup is "are the other pieces IN the engine now?"

What were you thinking when you tried to do that

?

Given what you have done, would you be willing to surrender your tools?

What the hell did you DO to this poor thing?!

Ok, so you are telling me that was intentional, right?

mrbreeze · « **Reply #6 on:** November 24, 2010, 11:47:45 AM »

Why would you put that ugly seat,8 ft. tall #$%* bar,&8 over fork tubes on that bike?

How many years did it sit before someone JB welded the hole in case after it threw the chain?

bluezboy · « **Reply #8 on:** November 24, 2010, 02:35:19 PM »

Would you sell this bike to your priest? And would you ride it across country, right now?

Cany you explain to me , HOW that 900cc big-bore Honda shrunk down to 836cc when I opened it up. And who honed it with what.. them 3pc rings went away soon after I bought it..

Another, when I asked you to wipe down the top engine case up to at least the seam, it might of been better if you had gone lower.. at least, I wont have to deal with the mating surfaces, well maybe one. And on the maybe it had water in it, it definitely had water in it, but did not ruin everything.

Oh and that frame that wasnt a 69, so you torched it off above the motor mounts.. well it not a later frame, it WAS an early one..

How much will you sell the 750 for?

I emailed this question to him after I bought the 550 but never got a reply.

do you have a hard-on for spay paint or something?

Is that really Moly-lube in the bottom of the fork tubes?

mrbreeze · « **Reply #14 on:** November 24, 2010, 10:40:31 PM »

WOW!!!......good responses!!!! Hope you catch the BS before you pay too much!!!!

#2 What did you do with the toolkit?

One of the best!

Don R · « **Reply #16 on:** November 25, 2010, 12:01:10 AM »

Why didn't anyone of the last 3 owners title it, why would you ride it with no plate, no license, after getting a dui, while getting stopped for another dui? Not really mine but I know the owner.

Stev-o · « **Reply #17 on:** November 26, 2010, 09:03:14 AM »

Why did you put form-a-gasket all over the clutch cover?!?

Cuts Crooked · « **Reply #18 on:** November 26, 2010, 09:58:44 AM »

Did you EVER have it running?

yes, ran when parked.....12 years ago. so all it needs is a carb cleaning. no biggie

scunny · « **Reply #20 on:** November 26, 2010, 12:46:16 PM »

how could that motor run. it didn't have a conrod or piston. (happened to a friend of mine)

hoodellyhoo · « **Reply #21 on:** November 26, 2010, 12:59:19 PM »

So I don't own the bike yet but I do have a 76 750K coming to me in the future. It has 40k miles, crash bars, king/queen seat and did sport a fairing at some point.

I'd like to ask them if they took any big trips on the bike and where they went.

My 350f only had 6k miles when my dad got it. I'm resonably sure it's never been out of the state (yet).

Stixxy · « **Reply #22 on:** November 26, 2010, 01:19:55 PM »

JB Welding the main jets to the carbs was a good idea how?

Markcb750 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 26, 2010, 01:29:15 PM »

Did you drill the jets?

Stev-o · « **Reply #24 on:** November 26, 2010, 02:00:58 PM »

Did you think stripping the rectifier's wiring and tying it into the regulator was a good idea?!?

Jordan · « **Reply #25 on:** November 26, 2010, 03:04:57 PM »

What the heck were you thinking? And you need to get a refund from whoever told you that you were mechanically inclined!

My questions would be pretty much along these lines, and what kind of riding style was he all about whn he was riding it, touring, drag racing, street riding, lots of highway?

And if he had any pictures of the bike from before he 'customized' it...

DavePhipps · « **Reply #28 on:** November 27, 2010, 01:03:02 AM »

Questions I would ask of the POs PO. LAst PO of the 500 never got it on the road.
How did you shift with a broken clutch lifter rod?
Why is the orange permatex in the float bowls and and jets?
Why isn't the muffler completely on?
Have you noticed that 3 float bowls overflow.
Where is the airbox?
Did you notice the clutch cable is not made for this bike?
Why are the wires not connected to other wires of the same color?

Stev-o · « **Reply #29 on:** November 27, 2010, 05:52:05 AM »

Where's the headlight?!!?

aplaceinspace · « **Reply #30 on:** November 27, 2010, 01:43:26 PM »

Why did you decide to run pod filters?

We spent 5 minutes with the engine cranking off of a battery charger before it would even fire. After that it would stall if you gave it any gas.

Stev-o · « **Reply #31 on:** November 27, 2010, 01:57:34 PM »

Why'd you put that funky seat on there?!!?

gearhead ed · « **Reply #32 on:** November 27, 2010, 02:50:39 PM »

You actually get PAID to work on motorcycles!
