Just wanted to show pics of my bike: I bought it a year ago for $200. It was disassembled in three milk crates and had sat under a shed roof overhang for 12 years.
After buying and hoarding parts for a year, this was the day i finished assembly. It took me literally two days and one night of non-stop assembly. Once i started assembly i didnt want to stop:
last week I trimmed the graphics ($25 ebay kit included shroud, fork guard and rear fender/swingarm stickers) because I wanted more plastic to show. It kind of gives it an old school look to my eyes.
Total cost counting the bike was only around $800. Everything in the engine is new, swingarm and link bearings are new, cables, brakes, wheel bearings, plastic and seat cover are new as well. I saved a ton by scouring ebay for deals. The only negative is that the pro circuit pipe has shifted my power to upper mid/top end. Im a slow, slow trail rider and the powerband as it sits is just not suitable at all for my use. Thats why i need a stock pipe
