Wrong colour for UK and US rear mudguard/rear light. still nice runner for somebody but wonder what reserve is

[andy120t]

I've just pinched a Skittle from my son's sweetie packet, whilst reading this, and it's exactly the same green colour! I love it.

Wrong genny cover, off a 550, and what's wrong with the seat lock, sits an a really odd angle. It could be a good buy or it could be a munter all dressed up.

Quite like that colour, don’t normally like green anything but that’s rather a fetching shade of a miss match between mushy pea and as described by my elderly next door neighbour, ‘chest infection’ green.

Don’t like the rear mudguard but nice little thing none the less.

Wrong switchgear as well, again off a 550. Never noticed the rear guard Roo, just presumed it was a US version but the light bracket seems to sit very low on the guard and looking at the underside it looks new. I wonder if it's one of the Vietnam copies and they got the hole position wrong, I have a NOS US guard in the loft and I've never noticed the holes being that low down. The US does get much smaller rear reg plates so maybe it's because ours are so much larger it looks odd sitting below the bottom of the guard.

...chest infection... 

Actually, it isn't too bad a colour.....

My Vietnamese rear mudguard copy sat like that until I elongated the main mounting hole

Reserve is £3k

Of course missed that Matt!

Where did you see the reserve Matt? Think as goin blind.

[Matt_Harrington]

I messaged the seller. This is the reply:

Hi Matt I paid £3250 as non runner in August.
Reserve is set af 3k and will take it.
If it makes over 3250 I will charge the winner 3250 as I'm not out to rob or make profit even though I spent £700 so far. Bike runs and is a work in progress and would like to see it on the road in all its glory. It needs attention to clutch and carbs set up correctly (which are myweakness)
Sorry for long winded answer if it just makes under 3k might even take that as i need room to work on Kwak z900.

Offer him £3k or (£3.35k!)if you want it and see if he accepts....

[Matt_Harrington]

To add, I'm still deliberating as to whether to get a 500 for myself, hence asking the seller (Mark) but it is too early for me to make a decision on a bike at the moment. Good luck to whoever..

[Sesman]

£3k is not out of sorts. Trouble is: wheels, paint job, exhaust and the prospect of an engine strip for cosmetic improvements will probably get the turn out cost all the way to £6.5k. And that before you get into the small stuff. I guess it all boils down to what folk are happy with…..which is of course always the way.
