WOW!!!! The most ive ever been able to get out of a good complete BR motor was $150 plus shipping,, ive gotten as little as 50 for them too...

Yeah it was kinda expensive...but when you really want something it doesn't matter! It was the 1st one to come along on ebay in months so I grab it!

[freaksfix]

You should have posted on the boards needing one. My buddy is comng over in a few hours to get one from me for $50.. And I sold one in a frame about a month ago for $60...

if i was in your situation i would have bought it two.iv payed way to much for stuff that wasnt worth half of what ive payed but i needed it.that motor looks real good hope it runs as good as its looks for you.

rpm_atv sells high quality used parts. I have bought from them many times. I think they buy mint quads and trikes and strip them down. At least it looks that way from their pics.
