    I've got an 81 gs650 rolling frame and two motors in boxes that need 2nd and 3rd gear. If you want you can have it for a 30 pack of beer. It's got a clean NJ title.

    So, one motor needs, 2nd, and the other needs 3rd?

    Is the rolling chassis complete? Wiring/Lights/Seat/Tins/Suspension, etc..?

    Yamaha TZ is a race only bike, not registerable.

    Older nighthawks are a blast to work on. And you can pick'em up cheap. I bought mine for $100, brought it home, replaced a battery cable, and she fired right up!

    Ok, sorry! I focused on the "must be registerable part and thought you wanted a street bike! If you get offered a spare GS1000 for a 30 pack, think of me!

    How much are you looking to spend?

    Any interest in a '75? Kz900 LTD with 100cc big bore? Runs but blows blue smoke. Uncle and I have rebuilt the motor twice trying to figure it out and he's given up.

    Valve guides/seals. Common on the old Z1's.

    Cheap TZ750? You would have better odds on landing Christy Brinkley for a sex puppet!
