Found this one in Eugene, Or. it was a 7hr. round trip ( the pass had about 4-5" of snow and was getting stuck be hide everthing, a bus, road con. areas, and plow trucks ). The bike looks to be in good shape everthing is thier except the header guard. All in all I'm very happy :Bounce . Have ridden around the yard this thing is FUN, won't win any races, but that isn't what it was built for..

The bike looks pretty clean, and it is the only one I have seen for sale in 7 years, so I had to give $1750 for it. More than I wanted to spend, but all but one part is on it. The carb is a Edelbrock bike carb, the stock carb came with the bike in a box. If I could find a BW 200 for $500 I'd snag it up. :D

$500 for a Big Wheel is a STEAL! They go for $1000-$1500 all the time in any shape over here! The 80's go for $500-$800. The 350's I've seen go for $3000! I have a 200 and an 80 and ABSOLUTLY LOVE THEM! I will have a 350 one day soon..........They take a special "finesse" to ride but are about the funnest thing to ride I have found!
Would you be intrested in selling that carb?

That bw 350 looks to be in really good shape . I have two 350's that i need to restore in the near future , i have bought a new nos oem fuel tank , front fender , both side covers , oem new rear tire , headlight cover .
I have restored a 1986 bw 80 sky blue in color , and a 1986 bw 200es. Those yamaha big wheels are very rare down here in the houston , texas area .

That is a Jeep we built for my son to drive. It has the rear end out of a 64' Scout 80 (dana 44) narrowed down, the trans out of my old 61' Chevy pick up, and the engine is out of a street sweeper a twin about 20 H.P., his Grandfather built the Jeep body for it. It a good runner and he loves it. We picked up some 31" M/T Baja that we need to get some rims for , and now he wants to make it a 4x4 - it never ends.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for selling me that BW, love it! Glad I could help fund your new project, that bike is going to be sick. When you get it all together we'll have to hook up and do a little comparing :naughty: .

Very cool. If you ever get a chance, post some more pics of the Jeep in the open forum.

Indeed, we'll have to go riding! When I get this thing done, I'll be at the dunes most every weekend!!!! :w00t:
I'd like to see more of that jeep as well.... Especially the body, all hand made?? I want to see more! I have a divorced transfer case out of an older Nissan truck (easy to find) that might help in making that thing a 4x4. But perhaps I'll wanna keep it so I can build me a jeep like that! ;)
Take it easy,
Mike

I have a BW350 that has recently cracked due to the previous owner leaving it in the sun for years. Any chance those old tanks are any good and you'd sell one to me?
That's sweet!!!!
I like that!!!! Me's wants one!!!!!

We used to have one, I loved it until my dad sold it, been to the guys house since then...he had spray painted it camo(yuck..it had nice plastics) and it doesn't run anymore, it's sitting out in the weather behind his house, but he wouldn't sell it back...it's a shame it will probably rot out there.
