Two engines and two titled frames

Got a line to pick up two complete engines (maybe with carbs and are said to have ran when pulled) and two titled frames from somebody local. Not really sure if I'm interested. Aside from keeping one of the engines as a spare, I would sell the rest. Trying to get some opinions on how much a package like that would be worth. And I don't have much information yet unless I go look. Not sure if they are 900's or 1000's or what year. Pretty sure pre-80 though.

A good running engine should be worth $500 to a $1000 depending on the carbs, mk2, miles, cams, chrome covers and if other work was done. Not a rebuild or problem engine.

One other way to determin engine worth is per part price...just the big stuff here.

1. Head $125+
2. Vm28 $125
3. Crank 15t $100
4. Covers $125
5. Cyclinder $55
6. Cases $50
7. Trans $50+

"Just Do It" if you local and have a pick up or trailer. Ebay
the parts off slowly. Frames will get A little over $100, look at ebay's completed auctions.
See what all the different parts bring. Might get lucky and have some cherries in the pile or a Mark II engine! I just found a Mark II with a ported head and popy Yosh cams, 1075 pistons for a $100. Cams are still selling for over $300. Auctions still going.

Then again do you have space to store it all?

Or an understanding wife? :woohoo:

And of course $500 max is what I would give.

frames are all over the place on the internet notsure any actually sell 150 delivered to the house
is a real nummber parted out (did it recently( 40 to 70 0 ship 199.00 PMAO maybe canada moyors are for people who only need a crank nlock etc...

part of me is a motor cyclist who loves to ride and for a guy like me to get someone to sell me a complete motor for a few hundred t build a bike is a top notch guy there are 1000 people ytuing to sell me a crank from a running motor my complete 77 will be on the road even though by complete I drug it home and nothing works and half is missing

make money helping someone fix theirs not scalping a fixable bike

Complete rebuildable 900/1000 motors are worth $300 each ,frames with titles are worth $100 around here anyway

Your a little high on the crank price but posibly low on the head

Last year, cycle-re-cycle in Indy was asking $800 for a motor, won't guarentee it to run and had no covers. Betting they still have it. $200-$500, pending on how much is there and how bad one needs it.

thats why there is a + next to price.

I can wait to make a decision until after Christmas. See how much cash is left, LOL. Not really interested in doing the oinkjohnson thing. Don't have time for another job. Would just like to maybe walk away with one of the engines a bit cheaper. See what happens.

"Hey Joe" Jimi, Had ta do it. What part of FL. are ya in?
I have a nephew down near Sarasota.

And of course was any dollar amount discussed yet?

Maybe a deal can be had with you getting your engine for zip, zero, nada!

I'm coming to Fl. in February.

Hi Marty,

That's really all I was hoping to get out of it. Or at least cheap. Just didn't want to spend the time eBaying. If you want, I can get details, condition and numbers on the frames and engine (I would be interested in the 900 engine but don't know what he has for sure). They been sitting in his shed for awhile. I can get some photos and send them to you. May even come with carbs. But no guarantee. If it works out, we could meet you in St. Petersburg (that is about 45 min north of Sarasota) or something. I'm in Citrus county two hours north and have a van. PM me and I can give you a ball park figure. But free delivery of course. I visit relatives in Pinellas county so it works out. Will have to just confirm that the titles are good and the numbers match. I'm sure you will want titled frames. You can transfer the titles while you are in Florida.

Joe
