Got my new 929
Bought it this morning, $2500. '00 with 19,000mi. Guy bought it from the original owner (a lady) who dropped it at low speed when she saw her husband get plowed by a car and killed. He planned to make a stunter out of it buthis main bike crapped out and after a few months on the 929, he decided he liked it too much to tear it up.Unfortunately, he and one of his friends fixed the scrapes from the drop bydoing a crappy paintjob on it. I am going to have to fix a couple cracks in the farings, repaint it, and put mirrors on it (reccomendations?).
Apparently when he got it at 14,000mi, it was popping out of second, so he had the shift forks redone, gears back cut, new clutch installed,and main and rod bearings replaced.
He parked it in the winter of '06, but the next spring ('07) when he pulled it out, it wouldn't start. His wrist had been crushed in the army and they had to fuse the joint. He couldn't ride anymore, so he didn't try to fix it. It's been sitting since.
I took about an hour testing wires and relays to find out that the fuel pump had power and ground, but was doing nothing. That should be my no-start issue.
Here are some pics. Sorry about the quality, they're from my phone.
