When I said 'value,' I did not mean monetary. For instance, many of you have children. Some of you may 'value' your children but they have no monetary value. Like children, these parts hold no value for me, monetary or otherwise.
It is always sad when a motorcycle dies, even from old age of natural causes. This bike was registered for 21 years, racked-up over 100,000 miles (so fast, it spun the speedo needle right off the shaft at 100,457), shows no 'crash' damage, and was obviously loved. That it can now breathe new life into those bikes still carrying our banner on the open road is a blessing.
I am into this project for very little money even counting the $12 spent here. Remember, this thing did not run two days ago, hadn't run in at least four years; it was you guys who pointed me towards the clutch switch, it was you guys who got it running for me. Also, I have already recouped $0.11 (found a penny in the trunk and a dime on the engine cases). I'm not looking to 'sell' these parts; if you can use them, you can have them.
I would post a parts list in Pay It Forward but I am in no position to be paying shipping for y'all. I can't post in Classifieds because I have poor computer skills. Let's instead talk parts through PM and talk here instead about what else can be removed. For instance, those little doohickies at the bottom of the fork legs; can I remove them or will they leak fork oil? I'm thinkin' they would make cool housings for black-out running lights.
And just for the record, I do not believe the apocalypse is coming anytime soon.
