thats about the right price $200. I have one that is REAL nice and almost 100% stock that I paid $500..

Yeah- finding one in nice condition here for that price is non existent. I paid 700 for mine, a non runner, and it looked like this. Sorry all I have is a before and after.

Yup, not a typo. He's just out of his mind. But he has done his research so I must be wrong. That would mean mine is worth 50k. Sweet.

Depends on who's buying a cut up 350 with drum brake to most will be worth less than a stock version.

I been meaning to ask what you did to the motor... is it stock or punched out?

Lol guess it's all relative. I can let them ride it and then see what they think. I can't say it'll never be for sale, but my intention is to not let it go.

Punched out. 3mm over. I replaced almost everything in the top end as well. I've learned with engine work old parts might be fine, but new parts will be fine. For the $500 extra (only 7% of the build cost) I have no worries ;D

I'm no purist either and yeah parts are relatively inexpensive compared custom paint and machined goods, if you look hard many guys have new parts and put them up for sale when the wife has had enough of the "build" not "built" bike.

Haha i know what you mean. Need to be more observant then, some new parts and the "get this shit out of the house" discount would be nice.

Howcome yer cryin' Levi? Sad cuz you can't afford it? ;D That hot little number is ready for a serious attempt at the Paris-Dakkar! (Sheesh! As i always say, "Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD".) Do you spoze it seemed like a good idea at the time? Often just about anything can seem like a good idea at the time over there in "Manstucky."

Yeah, say what you will, but it's titled and if the engine isn't stuck, I'd grab that for $2-300 and have some fun with it.
