picked up a new project
got this today. has some pretty bad wear on the front cylinder and piston. metal is in the case so they’ll have to be split. hopefully just cleaned up but there may be some more damage that i can’t see yet. the customer wanted to unload the bike because of the amount of work and possibly new motor it may need. he said if someone pays the bill for the work he has into at this point he’d hand over the title. so i paid $300 and the rest is history.

it’s a 2011 custom with stock 16” wheels. gonna finish tearing it all down. clean it all up and check for any damage inside. the heads are in great condition and the rear cylinder/piston is good too. so if everything else checks out good i’m going to just rebuild it. needs a set of fresh tires too. all in all i can’t complain.

i got this one for $1800. it was a real pile and i redid the whole thing. first pic is what it looked like when i got it. second pic is the bike completely stripped down. i took the rattle can paint off everything and redid literally everything, forks to tires, handlebars to exhaust and literally everything in between. took a little while, but i love this bike!
this one i just picked up is a 1200 with 21000 miles and fuel injected. i couldn’t pass up the deal but i need to find the motivation to get it running...

Bad *** pick up well... looks like if you sell that 883 you love you will have plenty ofncash to get the new Fuel Injected bike running well. I think you might be sad at first but it will be well worth the heartach for a minute... then ***** and giggles on that 1200 it will be a night and day difference in ride quality. Then you can sell the new one for some serious profit.
