Like I said though just looking to see if there's a market out there for a used and loved heist. Thanks!
thanks gardo !!! it was easier then i thought :)
What do you guys consider a reasonable price for a completely stock used Heist, 1400 miles. Someone has one for sale in my area but I think they're asking a little too much.
Not enough info there. It's all in what you want to pay, if they are asking close to a new one... Just buy a new one. Get some pictures posted, and how much are they asking? What year is it?
$4000 easy, your selling a great bike.Quote:

It's a 2011, seller's asking $3000, but that's just way too close to MSRP for me.Quote:

i would say that is a bit steep for a stock heist from a private seller, idc if it has 50 miles. i'd just buy a new one. or wait a month or so and get mine :) that's about what i'll be asking and i have all the mods done to it that weaver offers except for the shift rod upgrade.:thumbsup:
Honestly, 3k is not bad. Brand new it's going to be 3200+ delivery or dealers prep etc. probably around 3500 out the door. Looks clean and unmolested in the pics.
Shit, got you and Kev. Confused for a second there. Hahah, it's been a long day.Quote:

it's cool, he does have a pretty bitchin heist though. makes me jealous.
Took off the EPA crap off my Heist last night, went to work and had the model shop mill me a evap plate based off of the part I took off. I went to the hardware store and took a hole saw to the end of the exhaust and cut the baffle out. Swear the Heist is tuned for that configuration, runs so smooth now. Got it up to 60mph in stock form, would eventually get to 70mph. I was able to not only get up to 80mph consistently, buried the needle after the stuff I did! Really don't know how accurate it is, but damn! The results really surprised me! Loosened the stock seat a bit and it actually is really comfortable, may not need to do any springs or air bag. My uncle mentioned he knows a good pin striping guy and showed me some copper flake that he did on his son's bike, so I may end up doing that. The best $3,000 purchase I had ever made in my life, love the bike.
Hey everybody, been a member of the forum for a little while but haven't posted. I thought you guys might like to see a picture of my heist midway through the build. I had some machine work done to the aluminum trees and had the steering bolt extracted from the factory tree to use with the modified front end. Going to run some woodcraft clipons and probably raise the tank about 2 inches. I also have a bullet tail light and some mini led turn signals to install to. I will keep you updated with pictures as the build progresses.

Thats a loaded question, I use nothing but synthetic oil in my bikes, both the Heist and the Misfit use G&G Sheer power 10w30 for wet clutch application its tough to find but the Bel Ray or royal purple are also excellent oils. 1 Qt will do itQuote:

Its not the Heist but the motor is the same

The two brands I read and saw good feedback were the Yamalube full synthetic and also the Amsoil full synthetic, I ended up grabbing two quarts of the Amsoil 10w40 and topped off the bike with it yesterday. It seems to run a lot smoother with the full synthetic. The local shops don't have the Bel Ray or Royal Purple, but I do have access to Amsoil pretty easily. I think I will stick with running that for now.
just make sure that it is for Wet clutch use
It is, it is. I went home at lunch to grab the bike, too nice here (66 degrees) to not be riding into work. It does shift so much nicer, still burying the needle on the highway. I need to put my GPS on my tank and see if I am actually going that fast!!
If you are riding it that hard, make sure keep checking your chain or better yet chuck it and get a 428DID HD chain and 16T front sprocket. your bike will thank you for itQuote:

Dooo EEEET its probably the best mod you can doQuote:

Lots of great information in this thread, unfortunately - being almost 140 pages long - it can be a bit daunting to find the information one is looking for. I've gotten probably 50 or so pages fully digested, but still have a major concern. These bikes are available locally, but only through custom order -- so there are no showroom models to see in person. I'm 5'6" tall -- will the stock Heist be a good fit for my size? My concern is that the handlebars or foot pedals could be a bit of a stretch for me, what with the way the seat sits so low.
This would be my first bike.
edit: I just watched the video linked in the post above. The test rider was 6'2", a height that Scott of CCW claims is a height at the upper end of the typical rider for that bike. This is somewhat reassuring, but 6'2" is still a significantly taller person than myself.
Thedvs01, welcome to the forum. There is quite a bit of info to take in here on the thread check out www.ccwthariders.com it has some great info and list some dealers locally. This bike is 50 state legal and a great first bike.Quote:

please also feel free to email me with any questions ccwtharider@optonline.net
Just a quick photo update, I did a mockup with the front tire on to see how its gonna look, and yes that is a dirtbike rim with the factory 90/90-21 on it :)
