i think ive seen your ads on craigslist in the pa or ny section rightI have a 2000 Honda CR250 that is very nice all original condition and he is interested in trade, I listed it for $2000, so I guess you can say he wants the same amount. I was originally looking to sale it or trade for a Honda TRX 250r but he sent me an email to see if I may be interested in trade for his Tecate 4.
Whatcha think?
Well out of those three items, the easiest to get would be the extended swing arm, Rockhound takes care of those. The axle, you might have to use wheel spacers for a while until an extended axle pops up, durablue stopped making them. A-arms, Dave at ILR makes a really nice set, Herrmann racing makes them, you will see other aftermarkets pop up every now and then, and come spring time I may have a few sets finnished, I have 3 sets in work rite now but it will be a while before they are done, my welder was broke for a while and now with the cold I just don't wanna do much out in the garage. Your probably looking around 1k to 1500 maybee for all of that or maybee cheaper, it all just depends on what kind of deals you can get. Not sure how much the extended swingers are and I don't know how much Dave's a-arms are either. Herrmann a-arms are around 600 some, its been a long time sence I talked to them.Quick question, I have ridden TRX 250r's (years ago) but not the Tecate 4 and from what I understand it is a little narrower and shorter what would I be getting into (money wise) by changing the a-arms, axle and possibly the swingarm to get a little more stability?
thanks guys for the replies
That's good for you then, it looks like you have some time. I imagine there's more than just the few of us who would pay 2000 for that. Since I'm not buying tecates right now my price is irrelavant. Though it's important to note that I'm the cheapskate of the bunch who usually comes in with the lowest price of everyone on these "how much is it worth" threads...and I say 2 grand is fair price for that rig, even with a new top end on the horizon.He actually doesn't have it listed for sale. He just seen my ad and sent an email to me, he mentioned he won't sell for less than $2000 or he'll keep it as a collector's piece
