I've been on Craigslist like flies on ****, lol. The issue is this last bike he had was falling apart daily. Every time he took it out I had to fix something. I did 2 sets of carrier bearings, 2 sets of swing arm bearings, a set of upper ball joints, cracked frame, broken nerfbars, wiring issues bla bla bla... Rebuilt the motor that just dropped a valve and took everything with it. I've been riding since I was 7, I'm 32 now and I've never seen a machine come apart like his has. It's amazing.. So he said if he gets another bike like that, it's over. I really want to keep him in the sport for 2 reasons, he's good and he's my close friend/riding buddy.
The thought was to get an unmolested bike and go fresh with intake, cam and pipe. He has a set of shocks front and rear he can swap over so all we need is arms and an axle.
We've been standing here today talking about it. I know some of these left overs have left the dealerships for under 4grand... Has anyone shipped a quad? I used to ship motorcycles at a shop I worked at, anything from CBR and Gixxers to full dress harleys and *** cruisers. I would build skids and pallet them up then load them in a back of a FedEx freight truck with a forklift and away they went... If we could get a quad shipped for about $500 (thats about what a dresser would cost) that could be an option to get one from out west.
