New toy

G you couldn't go wrong buying Kyle's 89... He's been through pretty much everything on it....

It has a spun rod bearing so its gonna cost a few bucks to fix .. My bike was built 12/88 so it beats the cutoff. I almost started taking mine apart today since I need all the cash I can get to fix this one and I know its worth more in pieces.

Well if you want to put it back to 'mostly stock' that's fine by me I may still be interested in getting it over. I wouldn't mind keeping a few things like the prog springs in the forks and the wavey front rotors, but don't care for the exhaust, all funky bodywork and other upgrades you may get better money for.

I'm gonna call the shipping companies here to find out about the atlantic/indian ocean route - have you talked to anyone over in Tampa yet?

I dont think its gonna be cheap to fix. Trying to figure out if im gonna send it back to PCW or tear it down & go talk with Falicon & Murdoch racing.

Well sold the ugly gas tank for $ 500 bucks thats some cash to go towards the engine. Gonna pull it out in the next week or so & open it up.

 

[CaptainKyle]

Well I Have stared this bike to death & just decided I really dont like the looks of it about all I like is the engine & wheels. I am gonna keep them & part the rest out. I am just gonna keep riding my 89 & when I get this engine fixed gonna put it in my 89. Everything else off this bike is for sale.

Never have worked with either, take what I say with a grain of salt.

But if PCW says they know what is wrong with it off the bat, I think they would be the safe bet, do they offer any sort of guarantee on their motors?

I am a pretty good wrench. I am just gonna tear it down & have a look when I get the chance.

That too, no need to pay someone else for something you can do yourself.

Not something I have really had the extra cash to mess with. The engine is just sitting in the corner covered up. All I know is # 2 rod bearing is spun. If things will ever quit going wrong & costing me money maybe I will get to mess with it.

Ahhh yea times are tough. If I had a house and or a different job ( that I can't work on my stuff at) I wouldn't have half the shit on my bike as I do.
