Abandoning Engine Repair
I decided today to see how much money I could get for the engine & related parts, as is. I found a guy on Craigslist who was looking to buy a whole bike, and offered it to him. He agreed (I’ll post the sale amount after the transaction is complete). So I went out and bought a swingarm stand ($65) and jack ($29) to make removing the engine easier.
I realize it’s kinda stupid to have gone to the effort I have so far and just abandon it, but I think I’ll live with it. This way, I get to really make progress toward the ultimate goal: an electric motorcycle.
Now, time to make soup.
Update: A second person has expressed interest in the engine (I posted an ad on Craigslist, asking $400). Damn, I should’ve put it up on eBay!
