1998 TLS Part Out

[Jonboy]

After much deliberation this week and with a heavy heart my beloved 98 tls is going to be parted out below is a link to you tube vid of her running, Please note I am only listing the first five main items, once these are all bought and paid for the bike will be stripped and rest will be put up for sale. The bike itself had a new frame from cupar motorcycles december 09 and has only covered 500 miles, reciept from cupar motorcycles will be supplied with this and V5 transfered to frames owner, engine has covered a measly 15000 miles and the bitubo shock has also only covered the same distance so here goes all prices include shipping in the UK mayby able to send small items to the US or beyond but please ask first

Wheels don't have to be sold before part out

Re: 1998 TLS Part Out

Bitubo shock only covered 500 miles not 15000 as I have lead you to believe it went in with the new frame

I don't need any of those parts but want a straight radiator and would buy a mint bodykit if the prices were right..

Re: 1998 TLS Part Out

I'm sorry to hear you are selling; we all love these old bikes - I can sympathise with how you are feeling

Re: 1998 TLS Part Out

Right peeps the frame of this bike has done 500 miles, basically brand new, and I can tell you this bike rides like new due to that frame replacement in december if I get dibs on the frame and engine there will be alot more for sale, and anyone who gets the frame will not be dissapointed in the transformation to there bike, you wanna keep you're tl for the next ten years then a new frame has gotta be the way to go.

Re: 1998 TLS Part Out

but whats wrong with the old frames?

Re: 1998 TLS Part Out

Mate no offence, but...
your living in cloud cuckoo land if you actually think someone is going to pay £600 for the engine and £450 for the frame.

There are whole bikes selling for less on ebay

If you realistically want to sell this stuff, then part out the rest.
The main items need to be realistically priced to sell, or your list could take a fair old time.

IMO

Re: 1998 TLS Part Out

Thanks for the opinion chris anyone needing a new frame from suzuki will be paying over 2k by the time its on you're bike and engines are on ebay for over 600 and you dont even know the mileage. For you're £450 you are getting a frame thats covered 500 miles in its life a V5 and the reciept from suzuki this also includes delivery, and for £600 you get an engine delivered to your door thats covered a mear 15k in its life and you can hear it running in the link, hell if you phone me up I will Start over the phone for ya. Its costing me £150 to ship this in the UK so I think me charging £600 for it is reasonable I mean I've paid that for a suit never mind a sweet running engine. I dont want to part the bike unless these two are sold and I can assure you there will be bargains had once this is sold
