Hey CB900F
How many Gyros do you have ?
I just got another one tonight 12/7/10, and the previous owner did some weird stuff / like drilled a bunch of holes in the exhaust
put really small tires on it ,Like I said I just got it so I have a charger on and will try to see if it starts later tonight or tomorrow .
This one might become a parts bike . Do you have any parts you want to buy / sell / trade ?
I will find out later what it needs . But with the holes in the exhaust I am thinking BrrrrrrrrrrrrrBrrrr Brrrrrrrr pop.pop.pop My neighbors are probably not going to be diggin it .

Hello KillinSpree it gets better ...
I stopped in at a china scoot shop to see if I could find some small turn signals for a custom gyro I am building .
The owner asked what kind of bike do I have ,I hate having to explain what they are , so I said I will be right back I had a pic in my truck
,he took one look and said oh you have a Gyro ... I was surprised he knew what it was ???
Then he said he had an old one in the back .... Yea Right ???
OK lets take a look at it ????
I was about 20 feet away an sure as sheet there it was compleat w/ years of dust and dirt .
Do you want to sell it ???
Less than 10 min. later he was helping me put it in the back of my truck .12 / 15 / 2010
Then he said oh do you want the extra parts that go with it ???
Yeaaaaah he then gave me a bunch of parts and a lot in honda bags that were never opened .
The extra parts alone are worth more than what I paid for the bike .
I was a happy guy . :D

I only have 2 Gyro's. An 84 and an 85. I'm looking for a carb cover if you have one you would like to sell. I's the squared peice thats attached to the rear fenders.

LMK!

Hello "bradthreee
Sorry I only have 2 carb covers . But I do have a extra beat up Red Fender that I would like to trade for a 85 / 86 Gyro Stator I am not sure but the 84 might also fit .
See Photo :
1 there is a broken plastic that gos around the muffler
2 some minor burn marks from the muffler heat
3 cracked out
4 the last owner cut the plastic ???
5 same thing cut out the plastic (I guess he wanted to remover the muffler without taking all the bolts off )
6 Decals are scratched
I have a lot of projects going on but hope to get to some of the Gyros soon , I still might make a parts bike out of one .

Yes Taz
I did call the other day I was trying to put a deal together .
I was trying to find 10 people to go in on a buy . I found a guy with 14 Honda Elite 80s
They were used at Las Vegas Speedway by the security to patrol the parking lot .And stored in a shed when they were not used (not a rip or sun damage to any seat all were mint ) some had small scratches but nothing major they all started first time , and really fast ,Also he had a new set of tires and new set of breaks for each one (see photo )
Anyway he wanted $800.00 for each I was going to try to get them for $400.00 ea. but get 10.
I took some cash down but NO Way it was not going to happen he said he would go $500.00 but no lower ...
I did take a couple for a test ride ..... they were fast !
I was actually thinking make up some decals that said 50cc and stick them on the side and just say I thought they were legal ? I really wanted to get some but the 5 bills was just too high for buying that many .
Thats the reason I called .... Also I still have your ratchet ...
I did manage to get a few people to get in on the deal and some were saying , we should have gone for the $500.00
OH I did tell the seller I would be interisted in some of the parts bikes he had . I heard with some mods they might fit a spree frame ? How cool would that be ?
