85/86 XR600 project bike plus spares. Pics up!
« on: January 21, 2016, 02:30:15 pm »
1985/86 models.
http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o746/Nathan818/BitsForSale/IMG_3306_zpsl7mhickj.jpg

Bike #1.
Complianced frame, no visible damage or repairs.
Motor disassembled, but seems generally good except for rust in little-end eye.
Has aftermarket Arias piston in good condition. Says 11 and 25 on it, I assume 11:1 compression and 0.25mm oversize??
Shock is good. Linkage is good.
Very minor rust spots on forks between triples (seal area is clean).
All plastics present and intact, all will clean up well except the headlight surround.
Good blue seat cover with later style graphic on it (CEET brand?).
Brakes work F&R.
No play in wheel or swingarm bearings, but rear wheel bearings are stiff.
Significant parts missing: carbs & intake manifold; header pipe; air filter cage; RHS footpeg & bracket. I won't promise every other last nut and bolt is there, but they're the only big bits.
Some visible corrosion on rear rim, front seems good.
Stator/CDI/coil all present and intact. Rest of wiring loom appears intact with minimal molestation.








Bike #2/parts.
Complianced frame with UGLY checker plate repair to rear subframe. Has triples, swing arm & linkage.
Correct rear wheel (with corrosion on rim), complete with axle and brake.
Gold rim front wheel, big flat spot on rim, no brake rotor.
Both mudguards, headlight and fuel tank, all will clean up well. Extra front guard.
Extra steel lined barrel.






$650ono the lot.
Will consider separating/wrecking.

Also have a complete twin carb motor (including carbs) with factory 650 barrel (ex-Dominator or XR650L) that I will swap/trade for a single carb motor or head.

Located Yass, southern NSW. May be able to help with cheap delivery to Sydney/Brisbane in the near future.

Bit of a Darryl Kerrigan moment, probably seemed like a good idea at the time?

Bit of that, bit of helping a mate out. They'd look good in your shed.

So I drank several beers, rather than uploading photos... Tomorrow, or SMS if you can't wait.

94 KX125 any interest?
Or maybe a daggy running 92 KX125 with another half a bike for spares? It's on long term loan to friends in Adelaide, but I don't think it's being used.

The 94 is in pieces. I started rebuilding it, then a really tidy one came up and I bought it.

Frame is painted in 2-pack.
New plastics. New seat cover (original is pretty good).
Has forks & triples from a 98 KX250, plus new bling aftermarket  lower triple - I can swap these with some 94 YZ forks. Brake will fit, not sure about the axle.

I'm a bit vague on the motor - pretty sure the rod is good, bore is worn out (you could possibly use it as-is, but....). Cases have been wet blasted. Clutch cover has been broken and repaired.
Power valves all good.

Everything else is decent or better. Radiators, pipe, etc. Even the rear tyre is good (front is gone).
I'm pretty sure I've put aside some straight purple Renthal bars for it, along with good levers etc.

I started thinking about what it owes me, and I cringed...
I'd be happy with $1000 for the lot.

I'll take some when I get home... Might even get around to uploading the XR photos at the same time...
