Pahoa, Hawaii is my new hom

I hate electrical stuff.

I will post pics next week, but I just picked up an ex-stunt bike RC51. All the bodywork is toast. I have to take the "twelve bar" off it, but the subframe, frame, engine cases, swing arm, triple tree and forks are all straight.
I got it for 1k bucks, which is less than the sum of the parts, in case I get burned by the motor.
The motor is what I really wanted,
I have a couple ways I can go with it- ideally, I need a hot modern sport bike.
And an RC51 is ducati like in this area- except just as light and even more powerful than most- with less maintenance.
If the motor is good, and it is not worth me turning it into a track tool/personal sporting bike ride, I will turn it into a custom framed dual sport. Hyper dual sport if you will.
I may anyway- as this will help my custom bike biz I think.

LOL- I have had a "loaner" camera for a bit- went to finalize the deal, put a deposit on it last night- next week I am supposed to drop by again, I will get some pics guys.
One beat ass RC51 pic will be forthcoming.
