Grab Bag O' Parts For The LS
« on: July 11, 2009, 07:12:02 PM »
Went through the box of parts for the LS, that I got today from the second owner .

A bit more than I had originally thought .

I have a set of rebuild-able rear shocks .

Five oil filters, two air filters .

Two Hella H-4 headlight lamps .

Original 'crack-o-matic' ignition coil, explains the two automotive ignition coils on the bike .

Steering damper .

Ignition 'bean can' with sales receipt ( $300US in 1992), so obviously the spare is not serviceable .

A set of OEM mirrors .

Three sets of keys .

The OEM tool kit, plus the plastic housing .

A notebook with all of the maintenance history, and fuel usage, first entry was October 30,1984 the day the original owner took delivery of the bike, last entry was October 10, 1996 .

Trans input spline was done at least one time at 35,000 miles, bike now has 90,094 miles .

Bike was laid down one time, and the fuel tank was replaced .

Both valve cover studs have been stripped out, and heli-coils installed .

It shows an entry of replacing the ignition 'bean can', and then 4 months later, replaced the ignition trigger with a VW unit ????????????????

A lot of interesting information in that notebook .

Bob, Is this a recent score or is this stuff you want to sell?

I bought the bike three weeks ago, and the previous owner is being evicted from his home at the end of this month, and he was going through all of the motorcycle stuff he has, and found all of these parts .

No, I'm not selling anything, as this bike needs a total refurbishment, and I'm sure I'll use these parts in the next 6-12 months .
