No but I always have it open so when there is a minute of downtime at work I flickover to check the latest happenings on the forum.  Makes the day bearable ..... sometimes  ;D

Let us know how it is?
Surely there would be lots to fix seeing it's only $250?
If not, bargain of the year!  :o

I hope so, his girlfriend was the one who had to put the ad on for him as "he is not internet savvy" and couldn't find parts for it. I do remember long running RM parts wanted ads in the local trading paper (the Quokka) from that part of WA. Besides I'm not picking it up until Saturday week so I'll just have to wait and see.

It appears that the spare bottom end is a PE250 and it has the stator and rotor with it too.

How's the engine in the RM?
Not locked up?
Seeing there's no kickstarter or any chance of clutch starting it yet, do you think it might fire up?

Bargain CG  ;D with the stator and rotor you should recover your $250 for the PE motor alone  :)

That looks like an easy resto or racer rebuild , keep us updated  :)

I wasn't meaning the bend, look at how low they're sitting & levers look to have been set up to suit
