picking up a bike for the wife

[Wing Nut]

i'm picking up a 1985 rebel up in washington friday for 500$

has a new wiring harness 90% complete, but the guy's wife is bitching at him to get rid of shit, and he doesn't have the time to finish the harness.

13,500 miles (high for a rebel as far as i'm concerned)
reason for the harness is electrical fire, but caught early, bike doesn't look like its been on fire,

good compression

he's got a bill of sale and is working on getting the title so we'll see how that goes.


i figure i've never seen a rebel for under 1,000 so i should be able to get my money back out of it at the very least and probably make a profit if the wife doesn't like it

so it was 700 not 500,

it was an 86 not an 85

and had 37k mi, not 13k

but it was 2 hours closer, has a title and runs
