jeepwm69 7,602 Posted December 29, 2020 Picked this one up last night. Cost me a good chunk extra taking the wife and kids to dinner afterwards. Kid I bought it from paid $200 for it, and listed it for $800. He had a lot of offers of $500, and I told him I'd pay that for it if he didn't get a better offer, and he told me to come get it. He knows where to find the deals, and while I'm sure he's making good money off of me, the stuff is still below market most other places, and I don't have to drive far. This one has 12" wheels on it too! I have a rebuilt stock rear end in the shop I put together from bits and pieces I had around the shop (new bearings in the diff and brake housing, and new brake pads). Plan is to take the tan fenders off, put some green ones on, swap in the rear end and left CV, and recover the seat and flip it. Haven't decided if I want to mess with the front brakes or not. The rear brakes will work since I redid the rear end I have. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'96 model ?, if so ?, those were prone to defective c.d.i's from the factory. i see it has home made splash guards on the fenders. inside tank looks pretty good !.

Gotta take a closer look after work. It was dark when I picked it up. I'll put Rick's on the ones I keep, so I have a couple of extra 2nd Gen CDI's around to use on flip bikes. It does run now. Kid sent me a pic of it running when he bought it. I was at his house picking up a load of parts and he showed it to me, and I said "if you don't buy it I will!", so he and his dad bought it and then I bought it from them. Easy money for them. Close by decent deal for me with the 12" wheels and tan fenders I'm always looking for. I'll probably clean it up and wait until the next round of "Money from helicopters" comes from .gov. People were paying stupid money for used beaters back in the spring when the first round of "stimulus" money was sent out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,602 Posted December 29, 2020 I got a good set of flares from the kid in that $100 trailer load of parts the other day. These homemade flares actually aren't too bad. Kinda remind me of the old Bayou 300 factory flaps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 7,602 Posted December 29, 2020 Doesn't matter. I have a hub to hub 300 rear rebuilt and ready to go. Only think I'm hoping I can salvage from this rear is the brake baking plate/drum cover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
