Parts For Sale Gen 2 seat, bags, tank and more

[Hudson]

Having sold off my FJR, it's time to clear out my stash of parts - the funds are going into my kid's savings account Here's what's still available (shipping extra) (pics to follow), Usual first serve rule applies, but I reserve the right to favor anyone from the PNW crew. No reasonable offer refused but no trades as I don't have an FJR. Shipping is extra. Unless marked as sold or pending, items are still available.

You'll want to look at shipping costs before you pay me - zip is 98052,

OEM Seats - mint condition stock seats both front and rear - perfect as a backup or to send to Russell or Laam as a core $100

Two (yes, two) brand new in box black FJR side right side bags - yes, both right hand side (no soft cases included), not a complete right and left hand set. I have no idea how I ended up with 2 right sides rather than the complete set I thought I had acquired, but hopefully there are two people who each need a right side black bag. I opened the box only to take pix - never used. No locks included (you'll need to use your existing locks). $350 each (these sell for double new in box)
UPDATE: ONE BAG SOLD TO 08FJRSTEVE - One new side bag remaining

Stock OEM Yamaha handlebar base/riser. Mint condition $25

Folks in Canada, apologies but shipping is pretty expensive. I'm opting to ship to lower 48 for now. That said, if you fancy a ride from Vancouver, it's a nice day's ride. And I'll spring for a decent beer.

@blassoff, I just wanted to let you know I dig your 914 avatar. I've got two - one is a 2.7 twin plug flat six, and the other is a 3.2. Both about 220 hp. They absolutely scream.

 

[blassoff]

Wow, so nice. I sold mine in the 1990’s and have been jonesing for another one ever since. Where do you live? wanna take a 2015es in trade for one if them? Insane how expensive they’ve gotten. I originally bought mine for $1850 in running condition and drove it home. Those were the days.

Yep - anything air-cooled has gotten silly even before the pandemic. Watch the 914 auctions on BringATrailer and you begin to understand that the 914 hasn't been the "unloved Porsche" for nearly the past ten years - the secret is out on how great these cars are. I remember when these could be had for 1/3 of those prices in great condition and they were less loved than they are today. Now you see them on Jay Leno's Garage and Instagram.

You can't really built a big six 914 for under $50K these days. The stock 4-bangers are now $25-45K in nice condition, and a real 914-6 now sits at $85-125k.The high water mark for a hotrod 914 is $171K. Two 914's are well into the highest six figures - the very rare 914-6 GT that sold for $995K, and the ultimate 914 - the Le Mans GT winning Sonata car that sold privately for over $1M.

My current rule with air-cooled is the same with tools - only buy, never sell. The general rule on Porsches is you never pay too much - you just buy too early.

But if you fancy getting one, give a holler - there are good ones to be had, but there are also many many dogs...

Yep....Dogs don't scare me too much, I always wanted an excuse to purchase a welding kit. Still have an original shop manual and spec book somewhere. Back in the day I used to drool over Automobile Atlanta's website, that genuine 916, wholly crap. I think it was available for under $200K. Mine was a 1976 2.0, white with black accents. (I lifted the bumble bee picture somewhere). I wish I could come up with a reasonable excuse to shop for one, my bike is taking the space in my garage where the 914 used to reside. If memory serves they built 123,000 914's, less than 4000 six cylinder models. I was perfectly happy with the 2 liter 4, it never screamed but was really surefooted and so sweet in curves. It's funny, my wife would look at it and say "why do you like that car, it's a rust bucket". My response was always "cause you can't see it from behind the steering wheel". Porsche's are race cars at their heart. The 914 is a fabulous machine. I need to stop dwelling on it. I envy you, but I'm likely never going back there. It doesn't make sense for me anytime soon. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. You always miss the ones that got away, thank you!

Hudson, I DM you regarding the seats.
Cheers

 

[dcarver]

I'm your huckleberry for the Canyon Cage brackets!

 

[Hudson]

You got it Don, and how bout you just owe me a beer and a slice of pie when we connect in person. Let me know if you are going to rendezvous with any of the PNW crew anytime soon, otherwise PM me shipping details.

 

[PhatAir4Me]

I'll take the tank!

Bastard. Why couldn't you have had the left-side sidebags?

If you decide you don’t want to take it or you don’t use the tank keep me in mind Fort Bragg was a little rough on mine!

 

[MBrown]

I will buy you two beers for the seats.
Sent you a DM Hudson with my CFN to text me to coordinate on the seats next week.
Cheers
