It is very difficult to estimate a value with pictures much less with out any. If the numbers match and the original parts are mostly there, cosmetically a rider, and not locked up - I would guess $3k (maybe up to about $4k on the high end). If you had to end up sinking $5k into it you wouldn't be t...

Hello, I have been searching for the swinging pillion seat and was wondering if anyone had detailed pictures of an original? Particularly the bottom. Also, did they all have a seam in the front center like the one in this attachment or were there variations. I would like to know what is original (ve...

I think those are the same ones I have on my R50. I think they are MCM (or something like that)?

How much effort should it take to turn the final drive by hand with it off the bike? Mine seems a little hard to turn.

Thanks,

I thought I would share how I resolved the issue. I bought a new stand. The original stand was bent, actually kind of closing in on itself. Not evident to me originally but it was easy to see when I compared the old stand to the new one. The old stand let the bike go too far forward so when you trie...
