seems that the ad hasn't come up yet on the VMX FOR SALES so here is what has been done,

Bike has approx 4hrs on it and 4 race wins, this machine has been assembled to race and last the distance. it wasn't just slapped together.
so heres what I have done

Bare chassis rebuild, powder coated frame
has new steer bearings, chain slider, front brake cable and brake perch
wheels disassembled, hubs painted, new rear spokes, rims polished and sealed with POR15 glisten (swing arm too)
shock and linkages serviced
forks have fresh fluid
comes with new Tommaselli gold bars (not the tapers pictured)and original pegs
plastics polished
seat has a tear in corner from previous owner (under black tape) I have ordered one from Magoo if it comes in time you can have it too
rear brake stay has been repaired but i can get another one if needed
radiators repainted and all bolts loctited
tyres are not new but still have some life in them until you get serious next season


The Engine
rebored with a NOS wiseco piston (exhaust port relieved and lube holes drilled in piston 'correctly')
new conrod
new main bearings/seals and gear box bearings and gaskets
water pump repaired with metal filler then sealed with POR15 metal seal (so it wont corrode again)
New water pump seals
Exhaust repaired and repainted

mobile 0413253434

if there is no interest I will ebay it as I need to make room for another CR

shit simon, can't imagine this won't be snapped up at $3200, seeing mine went second day at $2800 and didn't have half the stuff you've done to this baby.  she's one sweet bike.

that POR15 stuff sounds the go for water pump and al sealing - where do you get it?
