Title: if i.......
Post by: cd on April 13, 2008, 12:01:56 PM
put an rc51 motor in a gs500 frame, pre 01, with a gixxer 6 swingarm, a tt600 triumph front end, one that had a clean and clear title, would anyone here be interested in buying it?

I'd like to see pictures of such a creation if it happens.

How much would you be looking to get out of it?

Quite possibly some of us that like having frankin bikes would consider buying after seeing the finished product.  :dunno_white:

I'd think about it, upon seeing the finished product.  If you've got the motor and decide not to try it, I know a guy locally that wants an RC51 engine for a chopper project.

paint it purdy and someone always will buy it. put chrome on it and they'll pay 2-4x as much.

Yes some of us will, coincidentally that subset of us is almost identical to the subset of us that will buy an RC51. That same subset of us will gladly pay a lot more for the aluminum frame and all stock and nice looky RC51.
Ergo, this subset will love to buy it if it was 1/2 to 1/3rd the price of an RC51.
Cool.

i figured. im asking around for anyone that knows of a cheap tlr or rc51 motor. im going to keep compiling parts, i have this no title gs500 frame, and ill find a cheap one with a clean clear title, and use the old one as a spare for structural parts etc etc....well see how it goes, if it ever goes. i keep having ideas, getting parts, then putting them on stock bikes and selling them, or selling them for more than i paid for them.....
