I bought mine last fall and paid with cash, handed over cash, he gave me the title and I took a test ride.

I do have a question for you, you have neck covers on yours, so they do make them? I have searched everywhere for them, they are not even listed on the micro fiche for the 2000. I do leather work as a hobby and was going to do something there but if I can find some that would be better for now.

Theres nothing like receiving a pile of cash, its always been my favorite by a long shot.

I bought the covers back in about 02 from Kawasaki as an accessory. They were a short run item. You don't see them often; I'ver only seen them on a couple of other 99's. I have never seen them offered for sale since or through any Ebay vendors. Hope you can find some covers and Good luck with your search.

You are safe accepting cash. There are impeccable imitation 'cashier' and 'certified' bank checks out there.
If you have to accept a check (out of state-out of country buyer) you should not deliver the bike for a minimum two weeks to allow the check to clear or bounce. If the buyer does not trust you to hold bike till check clears then you are not obligated to trust their check.
You can also ask the buyer to go with you to a bank, make the check out to himself and cash it and give you the cash. That will really flush out a scammer.

Cash is king. If the buyer can write you a check (assuming it's good ::)) then he can pay you in cash just as easily.

I recently tried selling my old truck online, and had a gentlemen contact me. He sent me a check for what I was asking, however said his "secretary" made a mistake and wrote the check out for $1600.00 more than my asking price. When I recieved the check I was to Western Union the overpayment to him. I trusted my instincts, I deposited the check into my account but told the guy it would take 10-14 days to clear the bank. Surprise, surprise the bank didn't clear. The internet is a great tool, there is just way to many jack *ssess out there. Cash is best and make them come to you in person to buy.

Paypal is also an option.

Deadant, that is a classic scheme used by many.

**Jared** · 05-03-2011, 10:42 AM

Cash, or have him go to your bank with you to make sure it clears his account.

I think the set of covers were for a 1500.

jendesigner · 05-03-2011, 01:39 PM

Yes, for a 2000 1500 (carbed version) no covers to be found, at least not yet.

Cash is great, but even that could be suspect. When I sold my last bike, I met the buyer at his credit union and they cut the check for me and notarized the paperwork. You could do that at your bank or the buyer's. That's pretty much been my experience when privately selling or buying vehicles.

If you don't do it that way, I would definitely demand a waiting period for any check before allowing the buyer to take the bike.
