Evilston3r Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 Hi , I haven't posted in a while, as I sold my old oil cooled , and purchased a good old srad, but I have the opportunity to get back into the oldskool Grove again, I have been offered a gsx 1100 efe drag bike in airfix form, bike is a frame with swinger and forks with wheels attached , all standard efe, but the rest is in boxes , it comes with a few goodies , worked head , barrels 1mm over sized, wisco piston kit, 38 mm flatsides , mtc lockup clutch ,Marshall side pipe, extended arm the bike is complete, but has been sat unloved for around 9 years, the rear suspension has been removed and the arm has been extended and has twin rear bars installed, the fixings are there for the rear shock, the tank has been cut and a small stainless steel tank has been placed underneath, it would need a lot of work , including complete paint , and reassembled , my question is the man wants 900 for the lot, I have always wanted a efe as I like the big bike presence, but would this be a reasonable amount for such a machine , any response welcome as I don't have any experience with these machines , and I know parts are hard to find , I would be looking at changing the running gear to something newer, thank u Quote
Swiss Toni Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Don’t think about it, just go and get it. People are going mad for them just now. It won’t be there long if you don’t! Just do it! Quote
Evilston3r Posted February 21, 2022 Author Posted February 21, 2022 I am leaning towards that way, I feel like I need an efe in my life, I better start looking for parts I want to change , I went to view it today, and seen it as a rolling chassis, he is digging all the parts out for next weekend, to completely go through, Quote
Jaydee Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 900 quid? Just buy it, think later! Then decide what the plan is. Road bike, drag, stock, custom? Sell off/swap all the stuff you're not going to use to get stuff you do. Efe's are dryin up. Quote
Evilston3r Posted February 21, 2022 Author Posted February 21, 2022 I have a few mad ideas what to do if I get it, definitely road bike , I'm feeling rsv running gear, and a few other parts hahah, but definitely a road going machine , but mots are hard to get with a sidewinder pipe ☺ Quote
Dezza Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Just the engine and carbs are worth way more than 900 quid. If you don't want it please give me the seller's number and I'll have it. Quote
Evilston3r Posted February 21, 2022 Author Posted February 21, 2022 Looks like I will be purchasing haha , I will offer the parts not needed on here only, as people here have helped me in the past, but I'm just trying to blag my boss to keep it at work now but if I decide not to go for it I will pass his number on mate 1 Quote
wraith Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Just buy it whatever you then decide to do you won't lose. Quote
Evilston3r Posted February 21, 2022 Author Posted February 21, 2022 I have agreed to purchase hahah, so I'm just awaiting him to dig out, I'm awaiting permission to keep it at work for the mean while, but I should be picking it up on the weekend , I'm looking forward to hunting down some of them parts , like a game of hid and seek for adults 4 Quote
