Clearing XX Parts, mostly Free Plus Shipping


Recommended Posts

Those of you who have visited me may realize just how much XX salvage I have.

 

What you may not realize is the weight of that endeavor.

 

I'd like to be a big help to the XX community, which has given me so much, but it has become a significant burden to me, and I no longer feel I can participate as much as I have tried.

 

That being said, I am divesting myself of the great majority of my XX parts stock.  I am NOT including those highly sought after items that are frequently damaged in crashes.  I sell those here, on ebay, and other forums, and have made enough money to continue to buy salvage XX's and distribute parts, but that is stopping now. Representative items would be any plastics, seats, tanks, instruments, mirrors, headlights, ECU's.  You get the idea.

 

So if you have a need or want for a particular XX part for rebuild, experimentation, or just replacement, shout out.

 

Most of it is free for the cost of shipping.  If I have a ready market, I'll give you a price that will be nice on your pocket.  Shipping from Pennsylvania.

 

I've thrown out 5-6 XX's in the last month.  Probably 10 swingarms, and a few frames. 

 

Time to move on.  Not from an XX, but from this particular service venue.

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Oh, I forgot to mention.  None of this will happen in a hurry.  As I sort through the piles for the last time, I'll look for any item requested.  Not going on a search for it.

Do you have much for body hardware?  I have a need for shouldered, wide-head metric hardware for a non XX plastic cover (electric bicycle).  Not sure if they are the same size, will measure if you have some.  My searching has not turned up other options and the XX hardware seems perfect if it fits.

just got to get the right search nomenclature.

 

I'm certain that's my problem.  The obvious search for fairing hardware comes up with a lot of shitty Chinese stuff.

 

I'll get measurements.  I can't recall the sizes of the XX hardware.

Do you have any linked brake parts?  I haven't figured out which part I need yet, probably the proportioning valve or the delay valve, maybe the secondary master on the front caliper.

Pretty sure I've narrowed the problem down to the secondary master, and I think I know which component is causing it.  I'll have a go of fixing it, then beg you for one if that fails.

 

Mikesail brought me one he had laying around, but unfortunately it's in worse shape than mine.  The upside is that since it's super fucked I can open it up to investigate before digging into mine.

If you could find someone with free time and a bit of motivation you could cut a deal with them selling parts for you.  Or retire and make side money off selling parts.

 

One of my friends has had a couple 'employees' that he'd pay to advertise and ship stuff.

Joe, just a few (and I mean like 6 or so) from the start of the dragon is a joint called 6 mile motorcycle. It would be a gift to the universe if you would stop in while you are down here. They may buy your inventory or just take it off your hands. I don’t know. 
Edited - fuck. Permanently closed.

Got one that looks decent.

I may end up needing one.   I checked the water pump and hoses and do not see any leaks.  I'm going to try swapping my thermostat and see if that resolves the issue as it has been running hot and check for any leaks as I smell a little bit of coolant at times, but no apparant leaks.
