Default Interesting Craigslist Opportunity

I think the engine and transmission are worth close to the asking price. I don't think the right side drive trans would work in anything HD without serious mods, though.

Looks like a money pit to me, but I'm not a bike builder.

That's a lotta kapusta for something that ain't turnkey.

Wow! Just another $20K and you'd have a really nice $10K bike!

Sadly for the owner, the ship has already sailed.

You can buy a new motor for $7 grand. Trany is inexpensive. Have to sell rest cheap because it's not in demand stuff. Worth $8 grand tops for the work needed to part out and sell.
