 Hey Paul, I sold you stuff on ebay! from an old v-700 hope
those transplants are still going.
So I parted out another ambo and have a frame and engine w/matching
#'s. they ussually don't sell to high for the hassle it would be to
ship. So I'm thinkin I could start here on a sorta _slow_ hooligan
bike for my 16 yr old son. the engine is seized and I was just going
to unbolt conecting rods from the bottom and drop the whole upper
parts into the trash. the heads MIGHT be recoverable. then I would
bead blast the case before putting some new top end on. would I need
the 850 heads?how about the cam? can I put a 850 t3 or G5 swing arm
on a loop? i'd like the rear disk.
right now I'm watching a loopframe _disk brake_ fork & triple trees
on ebay, not sure if I'm ready to put out any $ on this project yet.
I need a cheap winter project just not sure if this will be it. thx, Brad
