    So I went and picked up this bike for DIRT cheap so I am going to pass on the savings to everyone on here. The tank and mufflers are spoken for already. The cables are in bad shape but literally everything else is cherry! I have no title so I am just parting it out. I want to make everything affordable for everyone so please make me an offer. I will keep posted what is sold.

    Oh, there is no question you'll make $100 bucks back. eBay is your friend. You could easily make 5X or more on that initial $100. Go get it. I want the tank more than you know.

    For a fellow xj'er, if the tank is in good shape, it is yours for $50+shipping. Sound like a deal???

    Hahaha! I hear ya copple! I will check it out. Is there something I should look at? Is this a notorious problem? I will check out shipping rates and pm you with what I find.

    Wingnut, I want to charge you less than you would spend of ebay. You will need to replace the seals, so how does 85 plus shipping sound? Let me know! And unlike ebay, I will charge you ACTUAL shipping charges!!

    So I am cruising ebay this morning getting ideas about parts prices and I cant believe how much guys are charging for USED parts. I dont care if they are hard to find. I found a diamond in the rough so please make me an offer. We all know about what we want/CAN spend on our parts for these old bikes and I want to help get these bikes going. Thanks guys!

    The tires are in unbelievably good shape. The back is pretty good. The front is flat but doesnt seem to have any real cracks. Send me a pm with a price. I know shipping is not cheap and they can be a real bi*ch to get off the rim!
