;D Got me a 2nd 454, Its just a parts bike since it doesn't have a title but it runs and mine doesn't, Between the 2 ill make a nice one, The first one i got is a 89 and the one i just got is a 85 I bought it off of craigslist, The guy wanted $400 but after lookin it over noticing all the problems it had i offered him much less He said in the ad that the tach didn't work and choke cable is broke so you have to manually push the choke lever on the carbs But when i looked it over i noticed a few other things like: *It leaks oil pretty bad *The right cylinder runs 2-3 times hotter and blows 2-3 times more outta the exhaust *Has no turn signals *Lock is missing out of the gas tank lid *Only has one mirror but it looks nicer then stock and FL laws only requires one *Rear fender is cracked Good things are that it runs *Has Dunlop Elite 2 tires front and rear with 80% thread left *Belt is in good shape *Custom exhaust, Both pipes are on the right side *Custom aluminum diamond plate triangle shaped foot pegs and highway pegs *Has radiator cover/grill when mine doesn't Here are some pics, These are the ones he posted in the ad I'll post some better ones later

In 2 different spots, Not sure exactly where... I'll have to get a better look monday and take some pics to show everybody I need to buy a compression tester to see if its the valves or not
