As the title suggests, I’ve gone and bought a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F complete rolling chassis and now have a winter project on my hands.
I’ve started to go over it part by part, cleaning and re-greasing bearings, electrical connectors, and generally giving it a good tidy up.
267677
My intention was to initially transplant some of the goodies to my ‘07 EXC (upgrade suspension etc), and sell the rest, or do I find a suitable (cheap) motor to plonk in the beast and have some fun on for a bit, then onsell later. Someone please convince me that the motor project isn’t worth the time and effort. I don’t really need a full on MX bike ‘cos I ride like a nana, and generally, my EXC will do it all good enough for me.
Perhaps I should be asking the question, is anyone after some parts for a project they’re working on, or a bike that has been bashed up badly. Thought I'd mention it here first before considering putting stuff up on TradeMe.
Basically, if I part it out, up for offer will be everything from a stock rolling chassis:
Wheels, Frame, Swingarm, Pegs
WP 48mm forks/triples
WP Rear shock
Brembo brakes complete front and rear
Plastics set, Fuel tank, Airbox, Seat, Electrics
What to do......? If anyone is keen on parts, please PM me on here.
Chur in advance boys.
