Needs to sell my 80 Special. Can't figure out how to paste a photo. Runs great but needs to be ridden and I can't get to it. More new parts than I can list here. If you contact me through email I can provide pictures and much more details. Have about $2,000 invested but willing to let it go, for...

I have $2,000 in parts so that's ballpark where I'd like to be. Make an offer and we'll see how far apart. Can't think of anything else needed but a mirror (I was thinking bar end but kept forgetting to buy one). I also have new exhaust gaskets thinking I was putting a new exhaust on it. Also...

selling my 80 Special. Too many new parts to name here but can provide a list if requested. Florida title but never licensed. Worked on it more for the enjoyment of the work. Runs great. Ran it multiple time through all gears and pulls strong. Picked up another project bike so I'd like to sell...

Sorry but I only have turn signals, tail light and rear grab bar left.

Not sure what you mean by both bars. This is a crash bar that bolts to the frame in front of the engine. The shipping price is $24.95. I'm out of any remaking parts with the exception of the air box.

Still have the crash bar. I can get a shipping price if you'd like.

Still have the turn signals. I'll see what it will cost to ship.

Thx. Lot of work but kinda therapeutic.

Parts from a 1980 Special. Some parts like the triple tree and fork sliders got tweaked but should able to be fixed. All free if you want to pick them up or get them shipped. Call me if you want a list of the parts. 407-802-8570

I appreciate your responses. I have the stock jets I can reinstall but when I first put it back together it ran fine. I took it for a ride and put it through all the gears with no problem. Idle always returned to normal. At that time I synced the carbs and readjust the idle because it raised...

i bought a junkyard 80 Special and started rebuilding a few months ago. Carbs were a mess but completely disassembled, cleaned and replaced floats, needle and seats, butterfly seals and rejetted to spec recommended for aftermarket exhaust and air filters. I also made all valve adjustments and...

I emailed the Pamco folks to learn more. It makes sense to go with a modern system vs the original since the existing was sitting out in the weather for years. Cost is always a factor and making sure I buy the correct replacement parts. If I understand the process I would remove the pickup and...

Thx all. I'll start my pickup search 80 through 83.

Good to know but I need a pickup. Does an 81 or later work as a replacement?

Thanks I'll check them out. Any thoughts on replacement systems as a backup?
