When I lived in N.H. , I used to flip a lot of motorcycles. Many times I would take the good parts of many bikes & make one good one.
EX: I bought a wrecked 1970 Triumph for $25 or $50 (don't remember!) &
cross hatched the cylinders , put a new main bearing & piston pins in it & had it rebored .010 over , bought new pistons & rings , painted it & added parts that I had , spent many hours of work & sold it for $1800! The thing that I wanted to say is that I can't get over how much parts prices have gone up!
You can't make a profit like you used to!
