I stopped by a local shop that I support and he has this mastiff that's been sitting since 04, parked and untouched. Real rough but a solid platform.. kinda interested in seeing if he will sell it.. i think if i or someone else can get it for cheap enough its a good solid flip..whatcha yall think.. paint and powder coating is horrible, but nothing too major.

Hell, that thing looks pretty nice - and now is always a good time to buy a good flip if you can get it cheap enough

I doubt he's had it sitting since 04, seeing as it's an 08 model.

"setting since 04". I didn't even think oneyone was doing much with the blacked out parts 12 years a go. I like the looks of the motor,

Hehe agreed.

Maybe sitting since 2014

Auto correct.. Come on guys.. 14..

 

[bigkelk9]

Killin me smalls.. look at the sticker on the plates, 14.. the owner of the shop said he parked it long before it expired.. won't start electrical issue.. thing has tons of corrosion all over and all the valve cover bolts are rusted.. had it parked near his pool equipment.. my guess is the EHC is done for.

This would be about the time where I should call bullshit, but I won't do that, oh hell..ya I will..

 

[bdm7250]

That's newer than 04 did you mean 14?

Apparently the warm weather has affected your ability to read..

 

[bdm7250]

Nope just figured I'd throw it out there once again

And once again I will be forced to call BS..all within a few minutes..

*****************HOLD ON************

Pool equipment means chlorine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I work with chlorine! Why do you not put chlorine or chlorination equipment in same room with electrical control panels?????

***********ANSWER*************

Chlorine eats copper faster than a fat lady eating jelly beans! It will devour those copper wires faster than imaginable. I have seen chlorine bucket slightly open and devour 00 copper wire 20' away in 6 months. I know, I installed the wire and did the replac. Plan on a 100% rewrite of the entire bike!!!!!

Yep, and that's why I'm thinking it might be a good cheap buy.. I would take all that crap out n e way more hard wire it.. the shop owner things the same thing and isn't too thrilled to figure it out. Lol.. told him I'd give him a hand and maybe this guy will part with it fairly cheap.. who knows.. maybe a members bike.. n e one into big burly chicks.. look at the girl on the tank.. ugh

[bigkelk9]

Zoom in on the valve covers and the trees.. horrible powder coating.. like it was done over some kinda peeling.. it's bad

That would be the chlorine! Chlorination buildings are made out of fiberglass due to chlorine gas (a). Being so corrosive, (b). Chlorine gas can actually penetrate paint and go to the metal, it can also channel down inside between the paint & metal.

Hmm.. looked like it was powder coated over something that was peeling which I know there was no peeling of polished aluminum.. so it kinda got me off guard..
