PARTING OUT 72 GT 550

[kcgt550]

HI GUYS,
I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT MY RESTORATION PROJECT HIT A BIG ROAD BLOCK. THE ENGINE ON THE BIKE HAS ALUMINUM SHARDS IN THE TRANNY AND THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE HAS THE FRONT END MOTOR MOUNTS BUSTED OFF. I DON'T FEEL THE BIKE WOULD BE SAFE WITH THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE LACKING THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS, THE MOUNTS WERE SNAPPED OFF CLEAN AT SOME POINT IN ITS LIFE TIME. I'M NOT SKILLED ENOUGH TO PULL THE ENGINES APART TO MAKE ONE GOOD ONE. WE THOUGHT ABOUT WELDING IT, BUT AS ITS ALUMINUM, PROBALLY NOT. SO THAT'S IT.

HERE'S WHAT I HAVE

4 1/2 CARBS WITH THE CAPS
BLUE TANK, WITH CAP, AND EMBLEM AND PETCOCK (MISSING THE LEVER)
SOLID SEAT
8 TURN SIGNALS, ENOUGH TO MAKE 4 GOOD ONES
ALL 4 MUFFLERS
TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY-NO LENS
COMPLETE AIRBOX
BOTH FENDERS
FRONT WHEEL-DISC BRAKE
BACK WHEEL, DRUM LOCKED UP
HEAD LIGHT BUCKET

NO SIDE PANELS, NO TOOL BOX

I'M NOT A DEALER. I'M IN KANSAS CITY. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN THE WHOLE THING -SHOOT ME A E-MAIL, OTHERWISE I'LL PART IT OUT AS BEST I CAN.

I CAN SEND PICTURES OF ANYTHING YOU MIGHT WANT, WHAT I DON'T SELL GOES INTO SCRAP METAL BIN.

WILL LIKELY HAVE TO GO CHECK OR CASH. EMAIL :MEVANS@LAKELANDENGINEERING.COM I'M THE VP/GM AND I'VE WORKED HERE FOR 33 YEARS.

THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HELPED ME OUT, YOUR ARE GOOD BUNCH OF GUYS WHO HAVE ALOT OF KNOWLEDGE.
