Title: PSA: eBay alert
Post by: moosewayne on November 14, 2013, 07:26:57 AM
Hi All,
Just wanted to alert any and all 800 riders that someone on eBay seems to be parting out their 800.
Not just the usual eBay hand grips and skeleton hand mirrors, but real parts.

I have no idea who it is nor am I affiliated with eBay in any way, I just scour for parts a few times a week and came upon a glut of newly listed stuff this morning.

If I had an 800, I'd be all over it. Alas, I ride a 1500.

Happy Hunting!!!!

Sure.
Open eBay home page, search 'kawasaki drifter', arrange the order to 'newly listed'.
Starting on page 4 you'll find a powder blue fender and tank set sold by user 'mustang_alley'.
Going down from there you'll start to find a plethora of parts sold by 'm.manuelo3'.

Hope this helps.

Moosewayne: Thanks for the alert. Picked up some more "black" for my 2002 800 in the way of handlebar attachments in black....clutch; brake; and both left and right switches.

Ratman: Get on ebay, then type "used Kawasaki drifter parts"....there are a number of interesting things up there now, including some kind of weird two up seat that I can't figure out how it goes on the bike. Aside from that, more than one person selling 800 stuff. Rick's motorcycles is one...parts show that bike was down. Some parts scuffed up. Manuel's parts are from an 800 in nice shape, so I did some early Christmas shopping. There is even a black engine guard for an 800 online for $99.....that's a deal as we all know

On my blackening....decided to stay with chrome bars, but will slowly add the black controls. That follows the scheme Kawasaki used on my W650....so not too black and balanced.

Thanks again moosewayne!

Drift 1: It's not a roadhouse find...but pretty good anyway. Waiting so see a u-tube on your new exhaust my man.....:)

@Ratman I've noticed eBay, Google, and yahoo have all started defaulting to .ca lately. Always need to double check where i'm going.  >:(
