Default Convert heavily modified Roketa GK13 back to stock?

I came across a buggy that had the 250 removed and replaced with a Suzuki 350 and converted to a manual transmission. It's in good shape and I think it's worth the price but its far too fast for any of my kids to drive as-is. Is there anywhere that I could buy the full drivetrain to convert it back to stock? Are there buggy wrecking yards?

I could limit the speed easily enough but I'm not sure the kids would enjoy the buggy as much with a standard transmission.

Explain to her if you have more than one kid then you got to have a least two buggys. otherwise their gonna fight over it and she has to settle the arguments! It's some kind of buggy ownership code thing

And it is true. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission.

tell her they are good clean fun for the whole family. I wouldn't say my wife was super excited to riding with my daughter & I the first time, but after we all went and she saw just how fun they really are she is always happy to go ride. It's a good thing you all can do together as a family that everyone will enjoy.
