You should have put your butcher repair in the advert, you have a moral obligation to do so
it is not in excellent condition, it has a butchered front sproket
tack welding any part of a gearbox or engine can cause arching between bearings and or gear faces which can cause other issues
i would be expecting a shit load of fun from $3500, more than you are likely to get from this
have a look on trade me at what you can buy for that money

Totally agree with skippa, unbelievable that you wouldn't disclose your shitty repair job in the ad. Either fix it properly or disclose the issue. In either case it isn't worth $3,500.

If it has a welded counter shaft then you need to sell it as a wreck. Its worthless now.

These came with an OEM balaclava didn't they?

Only thing funny about the TM ad is the expiry date of April 1st...

The OP will get his reality check soon enough :brick:

a fucked 30 year old bike for 2.5g

What did you pay for it, 3? Then you fucked it.

you've presumably welded (poorly) a part that is presumably designed to have an interference fit and shear key.
Science not your stong point eh?

I'd name and shame that homo, too. i put a brand new nitron r1 shock on it. its a few weeks old 1100 from kss. supertrapp 600 few other good mods. i could always wreak it and get a few bucks for the parts. i dont drop names a dont care to much for narcs myself. i just learnt i need to be a bit more wise when buying 2nd hand.

Without the welded sprocket you'd be worth 3k+ to the right buyer. With that however, rings the shit out of some alarm bells. Good luck getting 2k for it.


There is your first problem.....:facepalm:

Cunt, I will fight you... :chase:


These came with an OEM balaclava didn't they?

and you...


And a condom.......<_<

that's probably a fair call though :bleh:

So you paid somebody to wreck the bike? I would have wrecked it for free.

wouldnt that have been better spent, perhaps having a "custom" shaft machined?

Its not about snitching, if someones been a cunt, it's right they should a) settle it or b) be called out on it.

Hardly naming and shaming if the guy's entire post history consists of peddling his broken shaft mobile. :pinch:
