I would think if you had that much attention to detail you would make sure all of the vent hoses were on the carb and that the bolt that adjusts the axle block was up against the axle block and the retaining nut was snugged up.

IF YOU THINK ITS OVER PRICED JUST MOVE ON.. I KNOW WHAT IM DOING... IVE BEEN OFFERED 26,OOO FOR IT LIKE IT IS... THE VALUE OF AN ITEM IS BASED ON WHAT SOMEONE IS WILLING TO GIVE FOR IT AND WHAT IT TAKE TO GET IT... THATS IT.. BLUE BOOK MEANS NOTHING.. PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY KNOW BETTER THERE OPINION IS JUST THAT...
THE ARE SILLY PEOPLE THAT PAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR STUPID PAINTING.. YOU KNOW PAINT ON CANVAS..COLLECTOR ITEM ARE NO DIFFERENT.. I DONT CARE WHAT IT IS..

this bike is collector quality!! this bike is MUSEUM quality!!

it cost more than 4000 to do a restoration one a bike like this.

if it was in the crate it would go for over 30k.. ive been offered 26k for this bike...
and no i dont think it going to bring 45k... its just a buy it now price..

im guessing it will go in the low 30k range.. lets just see what happens.. and im not trying to be mean or rude if you send me your opinion... opinions dont matter in most things... what is, is...

its not meant to be sold to anyone other than a collector.

this bike has never been started. it was built as a collector item. it is ready to be started and all it needs is gas and trans oil and anti-freeze. you should be good to go. oh and brake fluid needs to be added.

this bike just gets more valuable every year. there will come a day that it will be worth 100,000 dollars. if left in this condition.

i wouldn't ride it... but if you buy it you can do what you want.

99%mint condition restoration.. this bike is museum quality... concourse correct... i started this project in may 2010... finished before thanksgiving...this bike is completely restored AND never started.. i only did a top end on the motor and NOT a bottom end..the bottom end is in very good shape and didnt need anything..it has been bored first over... all new seals and gaskets...it was a major rebuild project...almost new everything..some parts are form other 500s... lots of the parts are brand new honda part...all new ufo plastic.. powder coated frame.. excel rims new spokes new chain and sprockets and rotors all new well bearings.. swingarm bearings linkage bearings...the radiators are 95% mint condition they came off a newer model 99 cr500.. the fuel tank is an original 89 oem used but in near perfect condition... new procircuit exhaust pipe...michelin tires... the fork tubes have some small nicks and a few marks for use over the years but nothing major... i thought about changing them but decided not they look fine.. it adds some character to it.. sence this pic i have put the pro-link decal on the swingarm.

( CLEARITY) BELIEVE IT OR NOT SOMEONE DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE MOTOR BEING RESTORED AND NOT STARTED AFTER IT WAS REBUILT... I THOUGHT I WAS CLEAR ON THIS.. SORRY IF I WAS NOT.. RESTORATION MEAN THE PUT SOMETHING BACK IN ORIGINAL CONDITION.. MEANING AT ONE TIME THE ITEM WAS IN USE OR HAD BEEN USED..

lots of other stuff to talk about... you can ask me what ever and if your interested i can call you and talk about the bike and i can get alot more pics and detailed shots of the bike.

i do plan to put more pic on here i just got to gt them to this comp

my email is chrismcwaters at yahoo i can email you lots of pics from the process

if your a serious buyer ill be glad to talk to you... if your just wanting to talk about the bike dont contact me

shipping... hmm... ill work in anyway possible to get you the bike if shipping it is a must... id suggest you come get it... if you can afford it you shouldn't have a problem taking the time to pick it up...

$45 large and he uses cheesy cell phone pics to post. His greed has already bitten him in the ass one, guess he's looking to get bit again.

Refusing the 26k makes him the 2nd dumbest person I've heard of for quite a while.

I wonder why he would put an aftermarket pipe on a restored collectors piece. Stock would be worth more, no?
