Starwriter Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 $3,000 for a stock bike? WOW! Hardly a budget build. Here's what I bought for $2500. Complete running bike with trued and welded crank, ported cylinders, fresh bore with Wiseco pistons, V Force reeds, billet intakes, 33mm PWK carbs, pods, chrome T5 pipes, Lonestar +4 chrome roundhouse swinger, Lonestar axle, blue label wheels, Hauler paddles, mohawks, chrome stock A arms, lots of billet goodies, including clutch basket, stator cover, footpegs, shifter, sprocket hub, and all the usual billet covers, with a title.

camatv Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 sheet. a cheapo stocker bike IS cheap to build you find a few owners that built it instead of bought it and you will find a huge pile of junk ass to ok shape stock parts. if you just want a spray painted pile of OEM parts thrown together to get something to go ride and have fun on it can be done for around what your saying to about half of that. mostly starts with a really good find on a blown up bike. they are out there. last year i sold a complete ( but blown motor) banshee for 800 bucks. it was nothing pretty by any means and was completely torn apart but i estimated about 5-800 and it would be together and look decent and run. now if you thinking your going to get top of the line parts and have a super bad ass bike for 3k that you would have to buy complete i'm sure. since you already have "found" most of the parts you need locally why not just build it and post pictures. seems you got it all figured out. best advice in here so far was to watch out for minkia on ebay. you never know what your going to get. i have a "budget build" 87 j framer, i can do right now but why take the time to take pics to post on here for a bunch of dicks that don't know me to criticize what i do? some threads go great others make you want to just cancel your name on hq and go ride. i think i could get it back together and looking good for around 1500-2000. i personally think it would be a neat thread to follow, showing progress and prices, and read up on for people like you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewalka Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I ended up selling my complete 87 j with broke crank for 400. I snapped a hotrod crank right in half didn't know tuning the carbs was that important. You live you learn. It WAS a nasty bike but oh well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banshee1983 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 welcome to the forums man.. im in your shoes.. i got an old 87 banshee from an old friend of mine and ive been messin with it for a few weeks now.. i got it all torn apart and what was said to have 90 percent of the stuff became more like nothing lol. i was missing a whole ass end and most of the front end parts, no steering stem, no engine, and what have you, but i sat down and made a list of what i needed to complete the roller and voila, i pretty much have a roller now.. it dont take long and it will all come together.. ebay is ur friend for stock parts to get u going, also do like others said and find someone on the for sale section that has alot of used parts and clean em up and piece it together.. im going for a stock build too for now until its complete and then i will start buying upgrades.. its easier to do it that way i think cause then u can still have fun with it and upgrade as you go.. hazzard banshee is your man, he knows his shit and is willing to go out of his way to help.. post pics as the build comes together.. id like to see what the progress is.. good luck bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
