I have a lot of time, effort and money into listing this motorcycle on ebay. Please be respectful of that and do not bid until you have read the entire description/terms of the auction and are certain that you intend to follow through with the sale. Your bid is a contract to buy. I have the listing set up to accept bids only from US bidders in an effort to prevent scammers from ruining my auction. If you are a legitimate bidder outside of the US and you have a way to have the bike picked up at my location without it being crated, let me know and I will add you to the list that allows you to bid. This is a nice GS with Hepco Becker hard bags, heated grips and accessory tachometer, volt meter and oil pressure gauge. It runs and rides great but both of the brakes are dragging a little. I would not recommend riding it very far before that is remedied, but it is otherwise good for the next long haul. The choke on one of the carbs does not return all the way by itself when the choke lever is turned off, so you have to push it down with your finger. The bracket that holds the tachometer (also where the upper right windshield mount attaches) is cracked and there is a piece of heavy copper wire holding it in place. The trip odometer is not working but the regular odometer is. The latch that holds the right saddlebag onto the frame is cracked but is still functional. The windshield is very nice with only a few very minor flaws. All of the electrical components work as they should. The tires are like new. There are 73 clickable thumbnails below detailing the condition of the bike. If you click on the pictures again after they open, they get even larger. Please look at all of them carefully and ask any questions you have before bidding. You can call me at 773-474-1744 or contact me through ebay. The bike is located in the city of Chicago. I can show the bike almost anytime. Shipping a motorcycle can be expensive, so be sure to look into it before bidding. The zip code is 60618 to help in figuring shipping. Winning bidder picks up in Chicago or arranges for/pays for all shipping/crating. I'll deliver, uncrated, to local shipper for $150 extra. I'll deliver within 100 miles of Chicago for $1.50 per mile round trip ($20 minimum). $100 deposit via PayPal due within 24 hours of auction close. Remainder via one of the standard payment methods within three days. No PayPal for remainder unless you contact me first. The bike is to be picked up within three weeks of auction close. $25 per week storage fee after that.
