I am Picking this up Saturday , The frame has already been fitted for the kx500 motor and besides that it's a basket case. He has the paper work to the motor and its been completely rebuilt both topend and bottom. He has sent me pictures of the intake and exhaust side to verify that it has new piston and fresh nickle sleeve. It also has a extended swingarm and pro circuit exhaust. I will get the frame all fitted for exhaust and make sure everything lines up right then get it powder coated . Has anyone built one of these ? Any input would be great and does anyone know what kind of swingarm that is ? Here are the few pictures i have of it as of now !

I haven't built one, but if I came across that.. I would be. Awesome.. The only thing I can add is that I have heard that the uncounterbalanced 500 motors beat up the quad frames due to harmonics and vibrations. This was CR500 based TRX quads though..

Worth 600.00 ? I figured the motor alone is worth that !

I want that so bad its not even funny. Nice pick up, can't wait to see it. If you need parts off-roadinnovation.com specializes in T4s. Greg has helped me a lot with my t3 build, he's a dependable guy.
