    Look at this poor, poor XJ, ripped apart and mangled, the frame is gone. Dude says the engine is good, stator is bad, wants 750 for it. Guy is out of his damn mind....

    But the shifter cover is gold. Are you sure he didn't mean $7.50.
    this is a good example of why some people should not be allowed to own a sawzall.
    First bump he hits is going to bend that frame tube that the shock is hooked to. What's he claiming he doesn't have the time to finish it

    "Accept cash and PayPal.

    might be fun to throw out what you think the real value is. my initial serious thought was $50. get some wheels maybe a working motor. bit thats a big unknown so thats why i go $50 what do you guys think?

    its value is in the parts , exhaust sounds iffy, fuel tank TCI if it is good, motor may just be a paper weight if the motor is not frozen. . carbs are there.
    he has no time to finish it or part it out.

    i would offer 125 . unless the fuel tank is crap. if he says no tell him he can call you when he wants to sell it.

    the rear rim can be sold to someone with a 650 750 rim has wider brake shoes is the selling point. same with the fuel tank more fuel for the 650 owner.
    tci if good then theres the dual disc setup for the 650 owner to use.

    what are you looking for in the bike? thats the question, at least if you built the frame into a rat bike or bobber hard tail no one could rag on you for cutting it up

    frame would make a nice motor test bed

    That’s the dumbest low-rider I’ve ever seen. The lower triple clamp is right down against the fender... bumps would be brutal. Fork-Apes?? It’s so slammed the kickstand looks like a squashed spider leg. Is the diagonal engine supposed to help it go around a curve better? Only one shock?

    oh wait.... the airbox is missing—- I might pay $50 -$100 then strip useable parts.
