How in the hell can the parts to rebuild it cost $1600 ?! That just does not seem right to me.

Did you get an itemized list for the parts? I wonder if that price has install markup built in?

Get the parts cheaper online and I'll help you rebuild it. I work for beer.

I'd love to... if I had a location to do it. I live in an apartment with no garage or even covered parking... and no... I'm not going to wheel it inside.


I haven't even picked the bike up yet, as I don't have a location to store it yet...

the 450 is a pre-built, tested motor... the guy has turned out tons of big bores and at least on Thumper Talk, doesn't have any neg reviews...

but yeah it's a bit steep. and outta my price range at the moment anyways... it'd have to wait till next year

I just read the review in Road Runner magazine and the initial impressions looked favorable...

There's a motorcycle salvage/junk yard in shitville, can't remember the name, but they sell pretty much whatever you might need, I got my old honda engine from them. Brand new engine, not even 50 miles, bike fell off trailer, total loss and they just pulled it out, all connections still attached and freighted it to me. Great ppl to deal with too.

Got a line on a new motor, ordering it next week... should have her up and running in a couple weeks...

damn I've missed riding.

[Mr Lefty]

Pulled and ready for shipping.

shipping the remains, he's going to look at it and decide if it'll be cheaper/easier for him to rebuild it, or just send me a new one. but it's gotta go to him for at least a core charge.

I think I may take the bike to the shop and have them put it back in though. I didn't realize just how much dexterity I needed working on things with my left. and how much hand strength I lost...
