96 caspain blue Steamer £850 quid for quick sale

[Jaythro]

Seeing if there is a market?  I thought about it and price has been reduced
Based in County Antrim N Ireland about half an hour from Airport and 20 mins from Ferries

Okay my 96 Steamer has come back from my friend borrowing it and I need to spend a day tidying up bits and bobs but I'm backlogged with work and 2 project bikes to do So If someone is intersted I'll move it on at cheap money
So thats My Dilemma Do I sell My Steamer on for circa  £850 and let some one finsih it off while I work on my other bikes


Bike info :- It's got 48K ish miles on it

It had a service 3,000 miles ago along with a back tyre and a chain

MOT to June 2011 Tax till end of may 2011
Head bearings replaced  and all 3 callipers overhauled at time of purchase
Front Tyre AnnakeeII 4 mm or more tread

Back Tyre Tourance squared off and approching wear marks app 2 mm

Chain and sprockets 5k miles on it

Backrack and rear cowl changed to a steel rack and a replacement cowl due to  the alloy one breaking  (both old bits will go with the bike)
 
There's a smallish top box (i'm keeping my H & B box for my GS project bike)

Fitted the indicator repeaters in the dash with the superbright LED ones (a must for steamers)

I cut down a screen from a 1150 GS and fitted it for a bit of extra protection

Bad points:-

She has a misfire and I've bought the carb o rings from the states a set of stick coils (2010 bike)  and another set of plugs to rule out the coils as I am pretty sure they are original

One fork has a weep and I've bought fork seals and oil

Other than that the bike is relatively clean I repaired the tank drain so it drains the filler area properly now so no more water in the fuel

Thats the screen I must see if I can get a better photo when the rain and wind stops here

Forget selling it.  How about just putting together a trip around Ireland for us Texans and let's go riding.

I'm up for that. I'm up in the most beautiful North West of Ireland, I'll show you around if you make it this far... :D

Nice bike for little money, market is terrible for selling at the moment though...best of luck with your decision...

If it's still up for grabs drop me a PM, I'll be back in Ayrshire in April.

[Jaythro]

Hey Sin How ya doin

I'm on a strip and rebuild now I rode it again even with the missfire and the high footpegs Stoopid or What I enjoyed the "traillie thing"

So I bought a set of stick coils and I have located pugs that will suit (I think) i.e.  Bandit 1200 have similar heat range and length because the standard Tiger plugs seem to have a non removeable end and the sticks go onto the little threaded bit on the end of a plug

And I spotted a shim tool for cheap and will do the shims and carbs and the airbox and the little o rings which I got from the states

Fork seals and oil with a "Tad" more preload me thinks

It will be more expensive but it will be worth it!

All In All I'd like to make a Mustang Special but gotta be practical

[BIG BILL]

Jaythro, I can't promise anything but this is just what my mate is looking for, I will pass this on and see if he will travel..

We could encorporate a ride w/end thing..

will it ride or do we need a van/trailer?

Good luck with the sale.

BIG BILL

[Jaythro]

Bill No worries But It' on Hold just now as I spent a hundred and odds buying coils and seals and plugs and Carb o rings and oil and ... and .... and.... Oh Yeah edit New Rear tyre
 :D

Looks Like I "may" have a buyer for my K100RS 16Valve that I bought and never got near either

So if it goes Tigger may stay for the summer and beyond IF i can get some more gas mileage from her

My MAtes 1150GS does 45 to 50 mpg the tigger ridden easy 35 and pushed on 28 BUT I am 20 stone and I have no servic ehistory so the culprit lay lie in the air filter carb o rings

[Jaythro]

 

K100 buyer very interested but no Cigar YET So it's possibly still available and any bits not fitted will go with her

Bugger it I got an urge and I just bought a Centre stand kit from Germany

I can be arsed working on the bike on it's side or on the lift you just trip over stuff all the time

It's one of the nice bendy leg style kits not the dopey looking straight leg ones

Zum Teufeul Onwards and upwards

I still resent spending £150 in the UK for one of these plus shipping, I'm getting it from Germany (delivered ) for much less than the buying price in Euro.

.
Besides I know I can recover my cost thru here one of you folks would like it at a decent price if I sell the bike meantime    :D  :D  :D
