Boxes of basket case.
20 Nov 2015 05:09
Hola...
Long story but I ended up with all the parts for 650d and frame and motor for a 650h. Its almost all in boxes and my goal is to build 2 cafe bikes as inexpensively as possible. I thought I would put the 650d parts on the h frame but pretty quickly discovered that's not going to be easy or inexpensive. I have the title to the h and am trying to get the title for the d.
Both motors turn but I don't know if either runs.
I have never done this before and will have lots of questions. I've sniffed around on the site and found great info and encouraging projects.
Hopefully by spring I will have at least one running bike and maybe both if I can find the cash and the parts.
Robert.

Pull the plugs on the two engines and post pics. They should tell which is the better runner.

Depending on how many parts you have. Could have picked up a Gold Wing with all the bags and trunk for $400. All I would have had to do is put it back together. It ran but the guy said he wanted to paint the frame. Must have been a tweeker.
