Son joined the Army and left his bike, asked me to sell it for him. Here's the ad:

The bike isn't stock, the front swipes and rear swipe stickers have been replaced... The side cover stickers need replaced..The bike has seen a lot of sun...5343 made in 82 only 2525 imported to the us..It won't sell for what you are asking in the current condition..
Just my .02
I do appreciate your sons service to the USA.. Tell him thanks

looks mighty sharp for a 30 year old bike. Look at the chrome on the gas cap! Please pass along thanks to your son from me for serving our Country in the Army, and I hope you have a successful, hassle-free sale for the CXT. On a side note, it is better to sell a CXT with stickers that could stand to be replaced, or replace them? Is it a damned-if-do, damned-if-don't situation?

If you are going to replace them, replace them all... Look at the needles on the tach and the speedo... It tells you how much sun this bike has been exposed to....

Here's another thread to read...I think it might have been the last time that we heard from him.

And...
I'm questioning if the fiberglass got repaired, or just covered with new stickers? Look at the old pics...

Pete,
Didn't you say you would buy it when he eventually gives up on it?
Only $3K...at that price you can't afford not to buy it!

It's a $500.00 bike....That's what he bought it for... He'll get more out of it, but it would be a stretch to get 3k...
If someone thinks this is a great bike...I say go for it... By the time you give 3k and then start fixing all that is wrong you could have bought a bike with under 5000 miles in mint condition...It doesn't take long to sink money in these, and this one already needs a new fairing. I haven't found nice fairings laying around? If anyone has, please let me know...
Just my .02

George - Pete predicted a year or two down the road, its only been 8 months or so. Guess it took less time than we thought...
