90 and 85 for sale

[ariklee]

1990 (runs rough) and 1985 (doesn't run but lots of parts on it). Time to move on. Thought I'd give you guys & gals the first go. Both have clear titles. Rapid City, South Dakota.

I've had the 1990 for maybe 10-12 years, almost 20,000 miles on it. (The speedometer isn't working this spring, but last year it was). It has the air filter mod. It seems to be running on 1 cylinder most of the time, but when accelerating the other cylinder kicks in and it pulls pretty good. This is a new development, so I'm thinking the carbs need cleaned out and adjusted. I adjusted the valves 2 years ago (less than 500 miles - I didn't ride it much last year at all). New seals in the forks 4 years ago.

The 1989 I bought for a parts bike. Also less than 20,000. I rode it a couple hundred miles after I bought it in 2009 and I'm sure I heard a knock, so I retired it as a dedicated parts bike. Parts that have been taken from the 89 (that I remember - may be more!): Master brake cylinder, key housing, toolbox.

Both bikes garaged continuously.

I'd like $1500 for both, or make me an offer.

EDIT: Price drop to $900 for both bikes. Valves adjusted two years ago, not many miles on it last year. Also edit to change year of parts bike from 89 to 85 (how'd that get in there??).

[ariklee]

Lowering price to $1200. Make an offer, then come get these bikes!

[ariklee]

Price drop to $1100.

EDIT: 1990 and 1985 (originally said 1989 - oops)

[ariklee]

$1000 gets you 2 LTD 454s. You haul!!

[ariklee]

Bump. $900.

Not a single response yet. Price too high? Maybe so? However, having a parts bike at hand will save you hours of time on the internet looking for and buying way-too-expensive parts!

I do have the side plates, or whatever you call those decal-covered plates that hide the battery. Also have the air-cleaner box if you want to convert it back to stock. I need to get rid of this thing!

[eaglerider]

Apparently, one of these reasons: no money, distance. I had/have even a better deal, but here I am in South Texas, no interest in 454s close enough to me. Here are about 3 to 4,000 bucks worth of bikes and parts that will just rot away. I have unknown thousands in all the custom building, rebuilding in the bike called Eagle, plus 2 other 454s (one disassembled) parts, etc. All for a give-away price, and bring trailer.....all going to waste!!!

Would either of you be willing to send just one part? I need an igniter part number 21119 but I am on a budget so if you can help please let me know

[ariklee]

Yo gman5184,

Been out of the country for a few weeks, just getting this now.

I don't know what that "igniter" looks like, however it sounds like a part from the emission system that I removed years ago. If so, I am the kind of guy that keeps that garbage laying around, "just in case". If you can send me a photo of an igniter, then I may have a part for you. Post it here. Cheers,

Arik

Ignitor is the main ignition box under the seat by battery.

[gman5184]

Yep that's it thanks blaine. I am having trouble posting pictures as I only have my smart phone but I will see what I can do

[jameshotjr]

Sell you one for $900, comes with one 454 attached and one more on the trailer.

Ok, joking. I do not have coolant tanks for sale. Got one off Ebay or Amazon last fall to replace cracked nipple.

[jameshotjr]

Lol thanks anyway.

Ariklee, check your messages.  I'm interested in the whole shebang, provided you can give some more details.
