He was doing ok cosmetically until I got to that hideous headlight ringed in blue LEDs. Barf. Pass at almost any price, I no longer trust the builders decision making ability.

Love the price! I can think of a few things I’d buy for $24k before a backyard hack job.

Love the electronics, what blows first, the closed in regulator or does it light the pressure treated wood spacer or the battery on fire? Maybe the peel and stick voltage meter give early warning. homebuilt swingarm- novel idea connecting everything with clevis is pins. Clever adjustment on those air pods.

Maybe he added an extra zero by accident???

Lol...

The rust forming on the bare subframe (clear coated I would guess).

The seat cover looks wrinkled up where it is no doubt stapled (maybe to more wood).

A dump pipe for an exhaust.

Backyard hackjob. $24 large... pass...

Gold. Not only trying to recoup all his money, he wants 25% more for his work. There should be some mandatory reading for people before they start a project that explains how the world works to them. If you are very lucky, you get back the cost of the unmodified vehicle and 25% of the rest of your "investment". So in this case that would be ~$6000. It may still take a while to find a buyer at that price.
 
This weekend near Ottawa I met this cruiser rider, we started talking... He goes on to tell me how his brother got a deal of a lifetime price for a Harley in the USA during their recession, he saved so much and shipped it here, was so proud of the savings... Then he says, he went ahead and spent more than he paid for his house in mods for the thing, from custom paintwork to the lot. Some people just baffle me
 
All of the cafe/bobber/chopper projects were built by people just for the experience and to make something that is completely their own, they make lots of bad decisions in butchering the bike, leave stuff off that shouldn't be left off :/ and then they attempt to sell it because surprise, surprise, it turned out to be a POS.

Damn. I will occasionally throw a list of keywords including misspellings at the bottom of an ad but they are related to the item. He tried to hit on every kijiji vehicle search. They should give him a 30 day timeout for that prick move.
