Bill,
Comes from having to part an old Suzy GS400 out because I couldn't get the POs mother to let him know I wanted a waver on the title so that I could put it back on the road. Now I have all these Suzy parts in boxes.

James,
Oh yes, I totally understand. I have a buddy who worked with a bike shop that had a salvage also and they bought a bunch of bike and parts from a medium size motorcycle repair shop that had closed down. Well, after they bike shop got what they wanted, my buddy could do whatever he wanted to with the rest. I helped him get what he wanted and He gave me what I wanted out of what was left. I got 2 CB450s, a CB500T(w/a CL450 engine) and a 77' CB550K Honda, 4 XS650s, an 80' SR500 and 2 monoshock DT175s Yamaha, a TS185 Suzuki. I also got a CB500K engine (complete except for carbs), misc wheels, some forks, front brake master cylinders (mostly Hondas) and some other misc parts. Keep in mind that the motorcycleseach need alot of work and a lot of people would use them for parts. I believe that I can bring some of them to life though. Of course they won't be restorations. I almost had 3 CB350Fs (in pitiful shape) but, they could have been cafe racers or whatever. I just hate seeing motorcycles in such sad shape and rotting away. there were also some SL & CB350s in various stages of disrepair. If I'd of had more room and my wife would have been more understanding---. As it is, with what I picked up and what I've bought over the last 5 or 6 years, (only one is running, 9 have motors that are free, the rest that have motors are locked up) I've gathered up about 35 at last count. I've got 4 in my 12 x 14 storage building along with a variety of parts, 8 under a swingset frame (with a tarp over it), 4 in my 1-car garage along with shelf units, parts, toolboxes, air compressor and the rest are under what's called a portable 12 x 20 canopy with tarps enclosing it. I'm just a sucker for a bike whether disabled or running. Way too much time spent on me, Later on, Bill
