Hi Guy's,
I have a line on a 1991 Lowrider. It has 30k miles, has not been ridden for a couple years. I have seen the bike, but is not running at this time. The owner was told that it needs new cylinder base gaskets. (there is oil seepage at the cylinder base) It is an EVO engine. Is this a common issue with these engines/bikes, or is this a major sign to stay away. The guy is asking 5k for the bike as is, (he estimates 1k worth of work to fix) is this a fair price? I am willing and able to do what repairs are needed myself. Cosmetically the bike looks pretty good, needs a little TLC. Comes with detachable windshield and saddle bags. This will be my wifes second bike when she outgrows her Virago 750. Comments? Snap it up, or run like a raped ape?
Thanks
