Well I seem to have developed a real problem by getting involved with these bikes. Either I have become a magnet to these things or they have begun breeding and reproducing when I'm not looking.
While perusing craigs list I came across some scrambler engines close by. I could not bear the thought of these things going to the scrap bin which I am certain is where they would end up. So I gave them a new home with plans of stripping them down and going through the trans. and rebuilding the upper ends and putting them back into the system. Good project for rainy western Wash. days.
As if that were not enough, My neighbor inherited a scrambler and a superhawk and was going to junk them. Just couldn't let him do it.
Now I have to find a market for it all. I'll post some pics to this post later and we'll see where we go with this.
Any opinions on how to market the engines would be greatly appreciated. RW

I wish I lived on the other side of the ocean.
shipping complete engines is sooo expensife. I wish I had a few Here in europe there are almost no engines, and if you find one it's wrecked because of the high milage and high speeds. assembly of Japanese motorcycles requires great peace of mind (Pirsig)
updatePerhaps I put this post in the wrong place but at least I'll follow up on this one. Enclosed is a couple pics of the scrambler I picked up recently. The superhawk went to Dave on the Olympic Penn. to become a clean runner and is making great strides in that direction so it will live on. This cl lived for many years in the front window of a pawn shop in downtown Everett Wa. The owner intended to restore it but life got in the way and it never got done. How I came across it is another story, but here it is and I got the stuck engine unstuck quite easily. Now I can clean and repair it to be a road worthy runner and send it on to someone who can give her some finishing touches. More as this progresses. RW
