I think you could do allot with this bike, great project.
Just a tip with Yamaha front wheels a DT 175 spoke kit which fits just about every Yamaha front wheel is like $80 NOS

Sorry but I disagree Slakey.  Have a close look at it, the forks are rusty etc.  I reckon you'd tip $4k plus into that and still have a sows ear.

And when Trev had trouble selling his mint 400D with ultra rare fox airshock, DG pipe and full race ready for $4K  In fact it went for even less than that.

I think you could buy a lot smarter than that.  just my humble opinion of course  ;D

Yeah I have to agree when a fine bike like that goes cheap with the right bits , you cant justify tipping 3k into this bike.
Shame as IMO these were nicer than the RM 370 with the correct set up.
I guess I'm only looking for 4k ish for my Husky (without rear shocks) and if you spent a K on that bike and you couldn't win a nats you just didn't twist the wire hard enough.

Make him a offer, who knows in today's market place any thing can happen. Worms just sold one of the best ones I have seen and it was listed under 4k.
