selling one Blue RE5 reserve price lowered

[timpa136]

EDIT:  Bike is sold

   I am selling one of my RE5s. I have California non-op status, last registered June 1980. Clear title. Frame #11737
After my purchase, I quickly put on approximately 4,000 mi. commuting and then Garaged it away till just recently.
I have considered comparable selling prices of others and have listed on e bay.
 All fresh oils and coolant. Runs fine, the low fuel light sensor and the low oil tank sensors both signal correctly. 
 Lights and turn signals and horn all OK.
Fuel petcock good, has sat this last month and fired right up and driven again fine.
No oil leaks of concern. Bike Chrome and instruments are quite good. There is a visible scratch on the gas tank.
Please ask for any close-up shots.
Shown is a custom Calafia seat on a good Suzuki steel pan made years ago and Calafia saddle bags.
I have taken into price decision a need for tires and fork seals. Steering stem bearing are due for service.
I have noted that the chain had thrown on the previous owner.

This is only minor cosmetic damage and only noticeable on close inspection

I will include a very good used trans. case if interested to the buyer.
Has an added zerk fitting on swing arm.
Metering pump correct output has been established.
I have Rebuilt the master cylinder and flushed brakes to dot 5.
Centerstand correct lift handle is replaced, not shown.

Bike PIC and compression confirmation to follow. Currently 37353 miles. I am currently riding and will add to the mileage. 

 Nonrefundable deposit by pay-pal of $500.00.

Buyer is to arrange shipping and I will make bike available after full direct payment. Riverside, Ca.

Thank You,

Tim

Nice engine. Smooth trace and as it winds up looks in the low to mid 130's. About as good as you'd practically get and pretty impressive for that mileage from what I've seen.

The trace has been incorporated into the FAQ Compression testing thread.

I have the missing guard rails, a spot weld is required to secure as Calafia intended.

EDIT: Saddle bags removed and available with sale.

Close up pics available if interested.

After purchase in 1979 or 1980 I put on approximately 4,000 miles and put it away. All fluids were changed when brought back out of hibernation.

Currently 37387 Mi.
