looking for a little charity

ok, ok i know parts are getting to be expensive and looking to see if anyone is willing to help out a broke kid with a unridable bike.
anyone got some good used tires
the left side handlebar controls
airbox tubes to carbs
and a front turn signal.

anyone want to help, i'll pay shipping, but my budget is already way exceeded. please help.
no car, just got laid off. need to fix this bike to get me to and from work. (when i can find some)

thanks. i know im dealing with good people, so i figuered i'd humble myself and ask.

 

No harm in asking.

 

you ever seen the penny box at the kwik shop store...

I seen one the other day that said: "If you needy a penny take one, if you need two then take two. If you need more pennies, then get a job!"


good luck with you endeavors!

 

What is the model of your bike? I need to look through my parts but I may have some stock turn signals around.

 

i was thinking the same thing. :lol:

 

Thats pretty cold gentlemen. I think I have the left controlls. PM me your address and make a donation to the xj site and I will cover shipping.

 

Agreed. I wish I could help, but all I have is some weatherchecked, but good tread, tires that might fit.

What is the size you need?

I have a set of round turn signals. Think they were off a 550 maxim. I never used them they came with the headlight and whatnot I got for my bike. If you want em PM me. I know how the having no money goes. I hacked my bike together last summer with no money. Don't worry about shipping shouldn't be too much. I think the bulbs are good but not sure, like I said haven't used em.

P.S. I should learn to look at User names more closely. doh!

 

sorry if I offended: sam you are most definetly correct....you are the better man.

My deepest apologies..Ridz

 

I'd jump up with parts if I had spares, sorry bud. Speaking of which, thanks for reminding me Samsr, I haven't chipped in for a while. Gotta help out when the opportunity presents itself.

 

I have some left hand controls for an 82' XJ650. What kind of bike do you have? PM me.

 

Left side controlls are on the way. Choke cable comint also. Have a good one. You should see it by Saturday at the latest. Get her running.

 

Signals were dropped off at the post office branch last night. shipped priority ave. of 2-3 so you should see it by the weekend hopefully.

 

Sorry I never read this earlier - Just took off the stock turn signals - would have gladly given em up.
I have a good rear tire - but I live in NL, Canada - so shipping would be devistating (if you wanna check the cost my postal code is A1N3Y2).
Tire weigh's a solid 25 lb's I would guess...

 

Proud of you guys that could help out !! Heart warming and I'm sure he will always remember and some day pass that favor on to others. Looking forward to 82 xj650j Already have one to use though if mine don't pan out. I used to send kids RC parts when they were in a bind and it makes a guy feel good to be able to help. Kudos to the generous at heart.

 

I wish I could help but I am glad to see the charity at work. How do you donate to this site???

 

How about an update. Did you get the parts you need for the bike?

 

actually yes!!!! im sorry about not posting an update sooner, but i found a job, and got everything i need but tires and the air inlet ducts. but thats a paycheck away. i took a few pics of the bike and the process of getting 'er back together. will post soon. am doing a pic by pic teardown of my carbs too. (they were real gunky) gotta go to a wedding, so it'll be a week. thank you all for the contributions. I feel lucky to be around such upstanding and generous people. will make a donation to the site when my check comes........ more later.

Thanks again!

 

Good to hear that your employed, it makes fixing bikes much easier...
