Sure KC. I bought a 150cc scooter for what its going to cost for all of the good kit.
Nice score!
Pricing is getting out of reach for what the purpose of motorizing a bike should be.
A means for Safe, Legal, Reliable Transportation?
What do you think pricing should be? Simply Cheap at all costs of quality?
Get one free in a cracker jack box or with a kids meal?
It can be done. Their is a plague of builders doing it here.
$80 kit on an $80 bike, and maybe they last 80 days with 80 minutes of repairs and then ready for the trash heap.
I don't think that's what motorized bikes should be.
My point is, not everyone is bound by their wallet, actually few of my customers are, they just want easy and reliable and $1500 is nothing to get that until they can get to drive their $50K car again.

I guess we just differ on 'what the purpose of motorizing a bike should be'.
I am of the thought that it's to do it right, or don't do it all, and good parts aren't cheap.
You know first hand what bargain gasbike kits are now, need a new one of their transfer cases?
I have 3 or 4 sitting here I'll never use, I bought some full kits with engines on holiday special as even with replacing the junk TC with a 4G as it had other parts I can use so a score ;-}
Anyway, no slam, just thoughts from another perspective is all.
