Got shafted and need parts!!???

slownugly007
Well....i was supposed to pick up a parts bike today with all the parts i would need to finish my bike and get it back on the road, but the guy never showed up and wouldnt answer his damn phone!? Drove 45 min out of my way to meet him and got nothing, some people never cease to amaze me i swear! Anyways, enough with the rant, since  i didnt get my parts bike i am in need of these parts....basically the entire front controls (electrical switches, throttle, clutch perch, brake perch, front brake switch, clutch cable) and wiring harness. If anybodys got any of these let me know what youd take for it shipped to 33458, the bikes an 81 750f ss. Thanks guys!

Must have been craigslist. I can't stand those jerks. I have had them mess with me also. He obviously will not answer, for, you. Borrow a phone from a friend, and call him. When he answers, just say Asshole, and hang up. Then put his number in a craigslist, for casual encounters "Man wanting Man". Oh hell just give me his number, and I'll do it.
I have a harness from an 81 K model. Still waiting on Shiny about the controls/switches. Going out to get pictures of the trees in a few minuets.

The buffet racer seat/cowl came a few hours ago. We are taking shifts unwrapping it. Now we can't find toolmutt. I'm afraid she is under the pile of bubble, and shrink wrap.

It was well protected. Looks really good. better then I was expecting. A few coats of high build primer, and some block sanding is all it will take to be ready, for paint.

Well protected!LOL  I hate that happened Slow.I bought a truck of a guy one time.First day we were supposed to meet the guy never showed.Come to find out he had spent the night before in jail for a DUI.Ended up buying the truck,it was a good truck,but had to sell it.Apparently the guy had a pretty bad reputation in the Botetourt area.Every time i went through that area i would get pulled over cuz they thought I was him.Good grief.My buddy I sold it to has been pulled twice for the same thing!LOL.  Maybe your seller will be "free" another day!LOL

BTW- I seriously plan to get those axle measurement for you tomorrow. Sorry for the hold up. It was a busy day today
