FROG MAN Posted January 20, 2008 #1 Posted January 20, 2008 This 86 has 97K on it but runs fair. It needs lots of tlc,steering head bearings,new rear tire, seat repair,etc. It pulls strong into the triple digits no slippage of clutch and brakes are good.All or part of it have to go.In the next 30 days I'm going to decide what to do with it. 1. sell it outright 2. part it out 3. partial part it out. lighten it up significantly and see what a rat venture looks like.I have a 89 engine with only 15k on it. I could install it just to see how it runs. This 86 still sounds good with 97K. 4. Buy some duct tape and run it. I bought this one last spring to part out. My brother wanted to try it out so he licensed it and rode it some last summer. He decided he was to short for it and has a problem with crossing my creek.Not many know how to surf on a first gen. Any ideas on what to do with it? No input from REDNECK either.:rotf:

Redneck Posted January 20, 2008 #10 Posted January 20, 2008 Scrap plastic prices are down so you should take it to a parking lot and pay people $5 a hit to mash it up with a sledge hammer.:rasberry::rasberry:
Guest Popeye Posted January 20, 2008 #11 Posted January 20, 2008 100k on an '86 that needs a LOT of work? Part it out, & put the $2k towards an '87.
Paul Posted January 21, 2008 #12 Posted January 21, 2008 If you part it out I would be interested in the Chrome fender trim and flap for the front fender. I would also be interested in the drivers boards and backrest but I see I am a little late on those 2 pieces as someone beat me to asking about them. Let me know, Paul
muffinman Posted January 21, 2008 #13 Posted January 21, 2008 I'll give you $500 Brad $500 for a pink bike is that a hint that Lonna wants her own scoot or are you gonna ride a Pink bike? Jeff

I SAY YOU SHOULD FIX IT ALL UP AND GIVE IT TO ME. WHO KNOWS MAYBE YOU WILL TOTALLY CONVERT ME TO THE NOT-SO-BRIGHT 1ST GEN SIDE
Squeeze Posted January 21, 2008 #15 Posted January 21, 2008 Hey Froggy .... part it out partially and give the Rest a real second Life .... just as an Inspiration ....
Rocket Posted January 21, 2008 #16 Posted January 21, 2008 Brad $500 for a pink bike is that a hint that Lonna wants her own scoot or are you gonna ride a Pink bike? Jeff Maybe he is going to give it to Calamari, for him to ride. Just hopefully Calamari's skirt won't slide up, when he is on the scoot.... :rotfl:
bongobobny Posted January 21, 2008 #17 Posted January 21, 2008 I may be interested in the saddlebags and turn signals. Was interested in the front fender crash guard but too late. I'd say put another 97K on it but if you sell you will get more for it as parts but it takes longer...
FROG MAN Posted January 21, 2008 Author #18 Posted January 21, 2008 OK guys I just listed the bike in the classifieds under first gen parts. This is the original reason I purchased the bike was to part it out. Now for warm weather to start. It's 8 degrees here.
Yammer Dan Posted January 21, 2008 #19 Posted January 21, 2008 I'll give you $500 $600.00 But don't tell the Warden....
Condor Posted January 21, 2008 #20 Posted January 21, 2008 Throw a custom at it..... http://www.cast-aways.com/images/chopper%20(Small).jpg
Guest Popeye Posted January 21, 2008 #21 Posted January 21, 2008 Hey Froggy .... part it out partially and give the Rest a real second Life .... just as an Inspiration .... That is a very interesting machine.
Condor Posted January 21, 2008 #22 Posted January 21, 2008 Gerald, Here's something to think about. The paint scheme isn't OEM. Non OEM plastic doesn't bring anywhere near what a clean piece with factory paint will bring on Ebay. And that's where most of the value is on a VR. Nobody wants to buy one piece and go thru the hastle of painting to match what they already have. Part it out and you're going to have a garage full of bits and pieces for a long time...... Sell it complete and be done with it. Sorry guys, I had to say it....
dr.nemo Posted January 21, 2008 #23 Posted January 21, 2008 Too bad non of you bidders look like Amy Sparks-Assiter!!!!!!!:rotf::rotf::rotf: Hehehe....
Tartan Terror Posted January 21, 2008 #24 Posted January 21, 2008 Maybe he is going to give it to Calamari, for him to ride. Just hopefully Calamari's skirt won't slide up, when he is on the scoot.... :rotfl: Maybe a little roadtrip out to San Francisco!!! LOL I forgot all about Calamari!!
Calamari Posted January 21, 2008 #25 Posted January 21, 2008 OOHHHH!! A pink Venture!!! Ill take it only if Brad will ride me UUUhhh--- With me!!! Remember Valentines Day is coming up!
