Title: How bad do you want this??
Post by: mxfool on May 23, 2011, 01:02:02 pm

Hi all
 just noticed this ad. Please tell me why would you do a bottom end rebuild and not do the top end too. regardless, if it really needed it or not it is a little bit of a worry and i hope you don't get the guy with the bike maybe he rides it for you or he is the bike stand. ;D

nice spotting guys i was under the impression that when you do a rebuild you replace worn or broken items with new or unbroken items but thats just how i do it

just one look at the tool holding the bike is enough not to buy it..

his brother probably got it running by tow starting it with his mates car dragging him up to 80 and the slamming it in 1st gear!
could be just me but none of those gaskets look new or re siliconed old gaskets
