"The cylenoids are not included."

Well, slap me. If I can't have dem cylenoids, I'll just run with my R65 hemorrhoids. ::)

One of the things I enjoy about reading ads for bikes, cars, etc is the, shall we say, unusual spelling of rather common items. I can just imagine this guy at the Lone Star BMW parts counter...

Should I update the "Breakdown Poll" to include a choice for "cyclenoids"?  Is that anything remotely like a turbo encabulator?

Not purposely trying to return this thread to back on topic, but I think he means all of the associated relays regulators and such .

You're now free to return to thread degradation !!!!!!!!  [smiley=ROTFLMAO.gif]

Man!  That guy is doing some good acid!  $1500 BIN for the wiring harness, and hopefully the diode board, alternator and bean can.

Since he says "The cylenoids are not included.", and the only solenoid (if that is what he means) is part of the starter, perhaps he is not including the starter assembly?

Or perhaps the cylenoids are the relays -

In any case, removing anything that is part of the electrical system makes his price even that much more unbalanced.

He may be including the handlebar switch assemblies and ignition switch, as well, though.

He needs to list what is included.  And use a spell checker.


I have have a crankcase with holes it it, as well.  :P
