    Got that too. Just the fan itself(the part with the blades?), or the brackets et al as well?

    The fan by itself and the solenoid will fit in a Flat Rate box for $4.60.

    No idea, probably not cheap given the size and weight.

    Anyway you can get a quote on those two?

    Also, do you have the Ignition Coils? Mine were replaced by a previous owner and i'd like to go back to stock...

    Also the CDI if you still have those parts! Give me a total that you would need!

    Yup, I have all that, what coils do you have in the bike now? I may consider a trade, if it's anything special.

    EDIT: $50 shipped for the CDI boxes, coils and wires via USPS Priority Flat Rate box.

    How do the fork seals look on it? are the rims straight? How much would shipping and you want for the solenoid, cooling fan, entire bare forks and both rims with rotors? if its in the 100 ballpark I'm sold for all of it. 47909 or I could meet part way or if you really want to get rid of it that bad I'll take the rest for the hundred and meet you half way. I'm in NW Indiana.

    I'd sell you most of that for $100, but the shipping is probably going to be another $100 on items that big and heavy!

    Putting gas in my truck will cost 3-4 times that... I am in NY.

    The fork seals are shot, and there is a small amount of rust starting on the tubes, but the rest looks fine. Wheels are good, as are the rotors. Fan & solenoid should be good too.
