1981 Honda XL500S
« on: May 04, 2013, 10:47:21 pm »
I need the room in my shed,too many projects that will never get done so this one must go,engine runs spot on, no smoke or rattles,33K on the speedo which is not currently working along with the tacho,Has an Aussie alloy muffler(not too loud,a bit more than stock though),rear carry rack,chain & sprockets & tires OK,lights & indicators all there but not working,3 or 4 small dents in the tank,rear shock damping is pretty average with some rust on shafts,the air filter element needs replacing, the left footpeg is welded to the bracket,should be an easy fix,wheel bearings & swingarm bearings brakes & cables  all seem OK,basically an average original bike in the condition that you would expect for it's age,also comes with 2 spare 23inch front wheels & backing plates which are different in the hub so maybe off a 250.
Pick up only or arrange your own transport,bike located near Shepparton Vic.
$900 ONO
PM me for more details & pics or 0418 274861

Thanks Ted ... I will see if I can get it to Sydney, that would be great.  You guys are freaking tops seriously.

Had a great day racing and socialising today and really loving the sport at the moment .. and great people like yourself (and a bunch of other top people) really do make the difference.

Bring'n an empty trailer this year Simmo or are you going to do the stack & pack like last year. Or I know a bigger trailer maybe a B Double  to take everything home.

Yeah thanks mate .... but you are right .... I need a bigger trailer ...... but surely that would only help feed my problem.

I'm getting Pop-eye onto the job of picking up the 2 YZ's and the CR125 within the next couple of weeks .. will get Steve to put the 260Z panel in there as well if he can wrap it up safely for me  ;D

How you going down your way??  Getting much riding in?
