If crank and trans are in good condition, you do the camchain, rollers, bore job, valve job and you're probably into the deal $2000 - $2500 with you doing the assembly and all the cleaning labor.

Figure roughly $1000 for pistons, bore, head work.

If you can get a good motor for $500.....well that's obvious isn't it ;)

Wow...I feel a lot better about what the guy I used charged. Thanks for throwing out the numbers!

Why don't you contact him, ask him about it. Otherwise look elsewhere and Gamble. At least hes a member and not just someone flogging off stuff on Ebay. He might be able to sell you on it, and maybe not. Looks like it would be a good deal.

If you had the Tools you could do a lot of the work on your motor, but he tools you need will be more than this motors price.

to be honest.....i know i got the bike for free, but now......like the craiglist guy said.......i almost wanna part the bike out.

i dont want to, but i dont know if i can pull off an entire motor rebuild. doing the top end was reasonable....but cracking the case....not for me.....Joe
