Created firefox addon and Google Chrome Extension targeted at people who frequent motorcycle section of Craigslist. It now also works on following sites:
- Craigslist motorcycle
- eBay motors
- Kijiji (US)
- Advrider flea market
- bcsportbikes bike marketplace
- motorcycleforum
firefox addon : Craigslist motorcycle buy utility + 2. Craigslist Peek
Google Chrome Extension : Google Web Store – Motorcycle Shopping ( new Features and Issue-fixes first come here in Chrome and then in Firefox after month or so ) or from Craigslist motorcycle shopping + 2. Craigslist Peek
Features of the utility:-
- Shows consumer reviews of motorcycle. This is very useful in finding pros/cons of the bike and also if the vehicle suits buyer.
- Shows similar ads on top found elsewhere on craigslist and Oodle. This gives idea of market price and general availability.
- Quick indication of if the motorcycle was dropped or was involved in accident.
- Quick indication if its a moving sale.
- Recently viewed Ads.
- Add your Notes to the ads using Recently Viewed list.
- Shows Factory Recalls. Gives idea of manufacturing defects etc. Also when buying make sure to ask original owner if the factory recalls were done.
- Shows TSB (Technical Service Bulletin). The service information/updates issued by the manufacturer.
- If a phone number (US/Canada) is mentioned in the ad then it creates a link on page which lets one easily search craigslist for other ads posted by the poster.

Hi,
Installed the Craigslist Motorcycle add on version 1.350 .. in Firefox 6.0. Many features of Motorcycle not working. Only got similar adds from Craigslist once, has not worked since. Don’t get reviews. Only thing that comes up is Price and Buzz categories. Any help would be appreciated.
Try Google Chrome version of this extension. Some parts of it needs fixed. Also unlike Car ads most of motorcycle ads doesn’t contain correct Model name so hard to get relevent info.
