Just bought a cream puff 1981 Honda GL500 Silverwing In terstate for $700.00 Only has 44,000 0n the clock. Much the same seller type, had done a $1 paint job (but half baked body work). Installed new clutches, seat, and tires only to experience a charging system problem. Half hour of investigating and half hour with solder and mini torch and problem is gone.
This bike is valued at almost $1500 lot value, and have gone as much as $2500 recently. So the long and short is he ran out of patience and wanted to hang it on someone, original asking price was over $1200, he settled for less than the cost of the work he did. Oh well I'm a happy camper. Will.
