Not sure where this belongs, so Mods, please move at your discretion.
250R's seem to bring rediculous amounts of money around here, even if they're utter pieces of crap. Lately i've been looking for one however, to replace the nice one i had a few years back, that i unfortunately sold like an idiot. I feel more comfortable on an R chassis than anything, so that's what i'd like to stick with.
A couple of days ago, i found a 250R with the 350x conversion just a few miles from my house. Frame seems to be in good shape...checked the top shock mount, foot peg area, under the seat area, just all the general problems areas that the 250R frames have. The conversion seems to be done right. Motor starts first kick, Works at both ends, AC bumper and skids, and decent Honda plastic.
The guys wants $2300 for the quad. I know that its kinda difficult to determine worth without seeing a quad, but does that sound reasonable? Will i be able to find an exhaust that will work with the quad frame(the exhaust that is on it is not stock, but it looks pretty crappy)? For those of you who are familiar with the swap...are any parts normally removed that would prevent me from easily putting a 250 motor back in it?
I think that's all for now. Sorry about writing a book, but much thanks to anyone who attempts to answer my questions.
