I'm trying, but he's proud of that thing

d*** WHY BID SO MUCH (OR AT ALL) WITH DAYS ... D A Y S ... TO GO? HECK even with hours to go? :crazy:
and it's just crazy to post your max bid here as someone could just be downright mean and bid just under your max to spend more than you need to...
At the very least, take down the screen shot of your max bid and wishing you the best....

SuprasNsprees,

...maybe consider dropping Sanjuro a PM; he was considering selling his NS50 a few months ago. Sanjuro's NS has LESS miles than the current "eBay" NS50, and a Kitaco "Naked" front headlight conversion like the one my NS has. After seeing Sanjuro's headlight conversion, I knew I had to buy one. :2thumbs:

I'm thinking he may have decided to keep it though; we haven't heard from him in a while on the NS thread, hint hint. :wink:

hmmm... In my opinion, A "Sanjuro built" NS50F would be the stuff dreams are made of... :smile:

If I can manage to get home at a decent hour tonight, the Burial install will begin! 8)

Later dudes, j

So guys...

Making progress with pipe install, just no time to finish it up.

Here's an idea for you NS owners....

I am putting my other Libra Pro / Calamari pipe up for sale.

Although I have a small fortune in this pipe, I will sell it for a fair price.
It is an AMAZING pipe. PERIOD!

This is what I have in the pipe...

Calamari chamber $325

Libra Pro (imported from LP Japan) Silencer $340
( ! ) -LP's stuff isn't cheap...

Libra Pro install (welding, fitment @ custom bracket) $190


So, as you can see, well- a lot. I would let it go for $415; firm.

This pipe will wake up a STOCK engine as well in the midrange / high rpm range.
Everyone @ True Grits asked to buy it... Haha!

Shoot me an email if you are interested. TE37scag@aol.com

Later dudes, j

...@ jon...I've back-tracked through this thread and found that you posted a complete response to my "musings" .... :oops:
Missed this when a new page started... :oops:
Just saw the True Grits mention...now I'm off to see when that was, or is, I should be at the next one... :urban:

Haha!! Thats funny, Mike! I thought you had seen what I had posted up... :smile:

...and you (and everyone else) MUST go to True Grits 50cc fun run this year, at the end of October. just google "True Grits 50cc Fun Run 2012."

It would be fun to ride our NS's together @ the Fun Run... in Suches, GA.

later man, j

True Grits date October 27, 2012. Member GKinTN has been and has insight about lodging, etc. Plenty of time to make this one. Plans are being discussed. He currently rides MB5, looking for NS50F.... :bump:

Hmm... If GKinTN rides a red MB with a black Hoemoet Pipe, I remember seeing him. There was a ton of MB's there, and a lot of NS's as well. Definitely a fun ride, despite the rain last year! I like to start at the back of the group with the moped guys, and see how many I can pass.

Well; it will be a few weeks, but my "wheels" order has been placed! :mrgreen: Finally!

Later guys, j

I ride a black MB5 with the stock pipe. Has low bars, a tank bag (not in the pic however), Bridgestone Battlax race tires, and now an oil injector block off plate along with a complete motor rebuild. Owned it since the mid 90s and have ridin' True Grits twice on it so far! GK

Going to pick it up on Thursday, so my black MB5 I've owned for 16 years will have company.
I paid "all the money" :crazy: so I need to be kicked in the head!
That said I've been looking for a nice NS on and off for about a decade and I'm just a sucker for clean original bikes.
After seeing a quite weathered NS50F bring $1375 on ebay last month I don't think I'll regret what I paid,
plus it's located close enough I don't have to ship it though it will be a day of driving...

Looking forward to riding this one!
