after having one done and then belatedly finding Bobs gen 4 build thread I think I would go that way now, do all the cutting myself and have a good local shop do the welding.

no regrets on mine but it would be a lot quicker and cheaper and doing more yourself always is good.

Yes it will require some cutting and trimming. See my build for pics, etc..

VERY similar to a gen-3 build, except the swingarm bolt spacing is different. and the rads are different.
good luck, keep us posted!

O.K update

Here's some pics of the frame ,engine and swingarm

it's a complete bike but i don't know if it's a good invest,price

translated in U.S dollar is 713$


i explain it:


Swingarm have this so i'll should find another....guess?

(i'd never ride a bike with a thing like that)



Image



Frame,looks fine 4 me only a little bit of polish work +conversion



Image




Engine doesn't work,so take back my money selling the engine is not an

option ,needs some bucks in it piston,rod.........


:?


Image




Guy told me if i don't buy the whole bike,he's going to parting it

out,chopping it (Alohaaaaaaaaaaaa hawai words)

or whatever you say,so what do u think about,maybe only the frame

should be a good option?, or better find out other bike?


By the way thanks for your comments Danny,Hoofarted,Shanman and

Sean,it was very helpful

I feel you would be better off getting a complete bike in the model of your choice.

Thats just my opinion, its up to you. :wink:

Mainly a bike that doesn't require buying parts to replace broken parts, if possible.

I paid $700 for my gen-3 complete bike w/ a blown up motor. sold the blown up motor in peices for like $500, ended up w/ a good $200 roller. ironically I paid $900 for my gen-1 running and sold the motor, pipe, etc. for $700 so I also ended up w/ a roller for $200. If you can get a good swingarm and thats all that is wrong with the bike, I'd consider it. My gen-3 motor had a worn rod bearing, I sold the bottomend for $300 to a guy who wanted the trans parts, never sold the jug because it had a snagged ring. sold the head and pipe and silencer for some good money. BTW if you get it KEEP THAT IGNITION!
