Black wing Posted July 16, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2016 with our favorite machines getting old and parts getting sparse i'm sure lots of us are squirreling away parts for a rainy day. time to show off your pack rat prowess and possibly even gen a little first get swap meet going here. there is also about 10 milk crates full of the oily and greasy parts in my garage i have 5-6 left hand saddle bag lids but no right hand lids, let me know if any of you have a right hand they want to trade for a left!

Flyinfool Posted July 16, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 16, 2016 Now I know where to go parts shopping. My stash consists of an 85 engine in boxes with a bad 2nd gear and 1 milk crate half full of assorted small parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted July 16, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2016 I can see it all now, "Grandkids Of American Pickers" having a field day!! About 4 years ago I cleaned out my stash of 1st gen parts to include an '85 Royale project bike and it took two pickup loads to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyday58 Posted July 18, 2016 Share #7 Posted July 18, 2016 I live in a rough neighborhood and like to take my parts stash with me so I can keep a close eye on it.. AHA! I knew there was a cheaper alternative to all those expensive nuts, bolts, screws, and assorted googaws to hold these old bikes together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted July 18, 2016 Share #8 Posted July 18, 2016 AHA! I knew there was a cheaper alternative to all those expensive nuts, bolts, screws, and assorted googaws to hold these old bikes together!! Rule number 682 in purchasing those parts keeper on ers: Always buy the ones that have plastic coatings on em cause hail stones will rip the paper covered ones off and your scoot will shed parts like an old Shovel Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am slowly making progress in getting that stuff off Tweeksis (our new bike) so I dont wreck it out following deer runs in the Mountains. Thinking of putting all the pieces and parts in a big box and having a great big good old fashioned MK1 Ventureline Chrome Super Duper sell off when I get done.. Keep an eye on our club's "for sale" sections if your interested. Not sure stickers will help much on the corroded wires but they sure do a fine job of keeping the rest of the bike together!!

It sounds good but I think our Vstar 1100 in spite of the overall size difference is superior engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snyper316 Posted July 24, 2016 Share #23 Posted July 24, 2016 My neighbor had one and it felt good it just sat low but he couldn't figure out y it would only fire with hot battery I tried to explain to him he needed to replace the battery but he not the brightest crayon he let it go back cause of that single problem his battery would test at 11,2 volts but at 12.5 it would fire fine Sent from my Z812 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
