thats one of the problems with e-bay. you dont need to be a mechanic (or even mechanically inclined) to destroy a motorcycle and list all the parts.,

Or Even Have an IQ Higher than Forrest Gump.

I bought a Set of Spare Cylinders a Few weeks ago that supposedly had been in Great Usable Condition.When I got them they Had Pried on the Gasket Surface on the Bottom of the Cylider and Beat the top of the Liner With a Hammer.Yeah Sure they're in Useable Condition but I'm going to have to have the Surfaces on one Cylinder Milled.

If anyone is interested, I could take a look or pick it up, since this is just a few miles from where I work.

Then again, sometimes the stupid people who part out things on ebay that they have no concept of are nice to work with. I got a locked up GT550 engine in the frame, minus the carbs, for $26 dollars. Spent $75 dollars gas to go get it. So far the only thing not usable was the crank, due to corrosion. That let me put my bike back on the road for a little more that what one cylinder should have cost, and I have a bunch of parts left over.

exception to Murphys law.. LoL. i have only seen ONE T500 and 0 parts up here, and One 380. seems like all the other countries got all the bikes and parts..

That looks like a home-made water-pumper to me, but it's pretty cool.
I like the rear-facing exhaust port.

Not bad at all. Too bad it's on the wrong coast!


Lane

[Admin]

Well Lane some persons on here are complaining theres not much for sale on the west coast area showing decent condition Buffalos,,,,,, So people heres your chance to grab this one.

[Admin]

I hope somebody we know gets it. Being on the East Coast, and with a full garage, it won't be me!

That's only 30 minutes south of ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am definitely going to bid on it!! Especially since my 380's down for a while. I don't have the money for it, but I will sell something to get it if I have to.

Would it be possible for anyone else in the area to keep from upping the bid. I'm a last minute bidder, I always try and sneak it in there as low as possible.

Suzsmokeyallan - Thank you SO MUCH for pointing that out!!!

[Admin]

Go for it, Coot! Once you try a Buffalo, you'll never go back!

[Admin]

Cooteboy theres a rule on this board that once you are seriously going to bid on an e-bay item its 'hands off' from everyone else on here, so bid with confidence.
I hope you get it, as i have a 74 Buffalo i'm converting to the
"project bike", so if theres some parts i can help you with particular to the 74 model i wont need, they are yours.
