Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 20:12:46 -0400   Subject: ibmwr-ads For Sale 1977 R100S w/ 26K MILES Category: Airhead R- bikes for sale 1977 R100S w/ 26K MILES I bought this bike to tide me over between bikes.  I know, it dosen't make much sense.  However, I find the riding position a little aggressive for my present physical condition, i.e.  over weight and out of shape, so I think I would like to sell or trade it to a good home.  In cosmetic and mechanical condition I would give this bike an 8+ to 9 I suppose.  It does have some chips and scratches in the paint here and there.  It has a very nice and functional Don Vesco Rabid Transit fairing presently mounted and painted to match the red pinstriped body work.  Yes, I have a correct "S" fairing, windshield and mounting hardware in unpainted new condition as well as the original headlight, turn signals and stalks.  There is also a taller windscreen for the Rabid Transit fairing.  The bike comes with a freshly cleaned and oiled K&N air filter, what I believe to be a C&C fork brace, freshly rebuilt forks with new seals and bumpers, crush washers, Progresive springs and 7.5 weight fork oil.  New Dunlop 591s, Koni shocks, Dyna electronic ignition, Thunderchild diode board and voltage regulator and a Odyssey sealed battery.  It does have bags and mounts.  One bag has a repaired crack in it.  Rearsplines look fine and are greased, clutch feels good and brakes are so so .  Rear are dry (no rear drive oil leaks) and will lock the wheel if you jam it good.  Fronts got oil on the pads from the fork seals prior to replacement.  I cleaned them but I think they will need to be replaced to get optimum breaking performance.  Also has a Reynolds ride off stand.  Drive train fluids just changed with synthetic gear lube and 20/50 Castrol in the motor.  Just synced the carbs.  Starts instantly, really runs wonderful and sounds great with new BUB mufflers.  Has the tool kit and tire pump too.  This thing is geared (from the factory) to run high speeds all day long and is ready to go accross the USA .  I know I am forgetting some things.  I can email some pictures to the seriously interested or try the link.  Fly in and ride it home or maybe I ride it to you and you buy my plane ticket home.  I can ship the exrta parts.  I might consider trades for a /5 or an airhead GS maybe other interesting trade? Price: $4995 or possible trade Location: Liberty Missouri

When I got it, it had 215-K miles on it, it now has + 6,000 miles after having the engine/carbs/timing/throttle cables, etc--etc-etc torn apart.  Original tools and lock.  Responsibly riden for the pleasure of riding a great bike.  Dowco cover.  I have two sets of white Krauser hardbags, one set comes with the bike.  The only things not done (ie: loose restoration-wise overall) are the paint (not necessary for a while) and part#: 36311236208, source= BM, noted as _1981 coupling_, to completely compliment the rear drive complete I just had put in.  (est part cost = $75).  Two small cracks above license plate in fiberglass and one small corner damage on the clutch side of the bike on the removable fiberglass section at bikes center by/below front of seat.  Selling this bike is a delayed sacrifice for me.  Digital Pictures are/can be made available.  Asking price is $5,000.  OBO.  Price: $5,000._obo_ Location: Seacoast NH
