Yeah, but the whole idea of rebuilding a M/C is that when you're done it's not old any more.
I don't understand the fear of rebuilding a M/C. It's irrational. If you don't know how then don't, of course, but if you use good parts and you've got the skills then when you're finished you'll know exactly what's in there. You can't say that about any aftermarket M/C, and I guarantee that you'll care a lot more about how it went together than that Chinese guy who put the aftermarket one together. Again, no skills - don't do it. You got the skills, what's the problem? |

OTOH, a rebuild kit is nearly as expensive as a new M/C, so economically, it doesn't really make sense. |
