Quote: Well, for one thing, buying a used bike and parting it out except for the engine can save a lot of money. Engines don't come around very often and when they do, they are off a wreck (and they're still pretty pricey). While they're probably fine I'd rather have one off an non-wrecked bike, just in case.
well i like what I did but it's just didn't suit my style and I can never leave anything also. i looked for a wrecked bike but came up short. these triumph engines are not cheap and I used a fair amount of items from the original bike. i the end I came out with a great bike and came out of pocket very little. i have no regrets.
