As much as I love an engine swap bike....this one gives the genre a bad rep. That motor sure fills up the engine bay eh ;D ?

Been trying to buy that for many years and have offered what I believe was more than fair. The seller says I'm way off the mark though, by about 500%.

Not as far as I know. It's been over 5 years since I actually laid eyes on it. My highest offer has been $400, his most recent price was $900 so at $750 he's moved a bit. I see there's a bid, so it's not coming to rest here.

It appears that the swingarm pivot plates on the frame have also been swapped to the rear of the down tubes :o :o :o Butchered is probably an understatement ::)
