Complete custom 150 rear --- Sell it?
 

I'm in a quandry. I put sooo much time and effort into this thing--not to mention a couple cubically exponential dollars :biggrin: and now I really don't have a use for it. It's literally a near bolt-in 150 engine and swingarm that includes the wiring harness etc. presently set up to use heims as a connection to the frame.

Trying to figure out if i should save it should i ever need to bolt it to the rear of the wife's baja. Her swingarm is showing the dreaded sagging rear tube and loose chain. But i also have a backup dual sprocket internal reverse engine that needs rebuilt for hers and that unit won't fit in this creation.

I also have the SUnl project, but it also has a complete stock rear swingarm and engine.

What do i do with the beast????: The TLC it needs is better cable system for the rear drum brakes, or some coin dropped on those for a set of disc conversion hubs that are on the golf cart aftermarket, a replacement reverse/handle and shocks since I'm keeping the Foxes for my daughter's mini shark. Tires are 1 nearly new and 1 brand new maxxis rubicons, engine is a carter/SYM 2-bolt that runs better than most 4-bolts with the golf cart axle housing with forged axles and a welded up c-section and 31 T sprocket. my buddy tigged my structural C-channel into the housing's weak areas and fixed all that. Brand new Naichi sealed bearings including the carrier bearings.

It's biggest downfall is it's weight at 250 pounds, including shocks, but it's rugged as hell. These old bones just couldn't take the swingarm thrashing any longer and I also wanted a bit more oomph.

any input on what a reasonable price on this might be would be welcome, i really don't want to sell it, but it's outside under a tarp with no really visible use for it.

My pricing would put it in the 400-500 range from the standpoint that it's a complete running backhalf with at least half that in tires and shocks alone. But it's the "bastid" engine and heavy. :dunno:
