Author Message   Lake_bueller Posted on Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 05:39 pm:        Anyone know what the going market rate is for an S3 frame? I'm considering selling the frame and bodywork from one of my S3's. Not to worry, the engine won't become a chopper. I'm thinking this may be the cheaper (and funner) route to getting the S1W that I've always wanted. My problem is I don't want to be sitting on a frame that I can't get peddle. Thanks for any input!!

He wanted $700 to do the deal. I figured a frame would be cheaper and safer. I have all winter to finish the project. Thanks anyways   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 11:38 pm:        Lake let me talk to him.And what do you mean by safer the guy is awesome at what he does.   Bigdaddy Posted on Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 08:41 am:        Dana, If you get a chance run through eBay and check out the "2002 Buell 1200 S1 Frame." What's that all about?   Lake_bueller Posted on Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 09:18 am:        Dana....I'm not saying the guys doesn't do awesome work. But if I can get an S1 frame, I know I have a frame that hasn't been cut or modified. When I bought the license relocator from Kenny, I asked about the frame. He mentioned that it was more work than he originally expected. He also said that the only reason you got such a great deal is because he quoted you the price in advance. If Kenny could do the work for the same price you paid, I might be more willing to go that route (less work, less cost).   Lake_bueller Posted on Wednesday, November 26, 2003 - 03:49 pm:        Good news I think I've found an S1 frame and the project is offically off the ground. Actually, I have a line on about 3 frames right now. My determining factors now are price & color. The next step is to pull the motor from the S3 frame. Then I'll be sending the bodywork off to the painter and rims out for powdercoating (maybe) for some colorization. The last step will be reassembly and road test. And all of this in 4 months. Should be a piece of cake.}}
