Tell me guys,do I have reason to be pissed ? I e mailed Shawn via E bay and made him an offer of $1300 US for the engine he had advertised as I was having trouble finding one here.The guy who actually won the bid missed out on it as Shawn done a dodgy on him and didnt send the motor.Check this link to see the desciption of engine http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0202500597 and this one to see the e bayers response http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ ... dback:3:us
The engine didnt arrive in OZ and he wouldnt provide a tracking number so I filed a claim with paypal.He then finally gave me a tracking number and I could see it was in customs so I foolishly ended the claim.Now I cannot reopen it.Check out these pics and tell me whether it matches the engine description in e bay,bearing in mind I checked with a Honda dealer and the engine is a 93 model,and also there was no mention of a bogged up RHS crankcase http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=vmvvy8&s=3 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=am5pw4&s=3 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=29erhau&s=3
I found Shawns phone numbers,and when I spoke to him he agreed that he should refund me.Then he apparently changed his mind and would no longer answer calls or e mails.I persevered and maybe got the time differences mixed up and called him a few times in the middle of the night Im so sorry Shawn !!! I have given him plenty of opportunity to do the right thing,I said that maybe he could just supply me with a piston kit and crankcase.When you read this Shawn,you know you have yourself to blame.You know I have told the truth,and the evidence is all here.Lets hope you dont do the same to others.

clyde, you must not shop around much I bought my whole running '86 for $730 and thats about going rate for one. a running motor with an unknown history should go for around 500-700. a fully documented rebuilt and not on its last bore motor should be like $1000-1500

nothing wrong with the '85-'89 motor, but their not the most desirable in the eyes of most poeple...and can be found cheaper. freeemr has his '87 for $1000 obo, theres a '91 i seen 2 days ago for $1000 obo but will definatly need some money put into it for rebuild...so ya i agree sort of with what your saying, and good deals can be found occasionaly if you look around. but this guy was "supposedly" buying a good '93 for $760....if i had a "good" '93 cr5 motor, i wouldnt sell it for a penny less that $1000, and depending how "good" it was, probly more around $1200+

ya, definitly not a freshly rebuilt '94. Of coarse I won't buy a motor on ebay without assuming its a good pair of cases with trans shafts and head and everything else MIGHT have to be replaced.

easy bro we are getting a bro set up with a 500. I droped off the 95 roller this morning along with the pink & case splitter .dannygraves wrote:damn dude!
you need to give me a call before you do THAT again! I'll come pickup a broke down '80s bike for twice that!
Last time I talked to Bruce he was talking like he was going to get the 85 runing and put it back into its own frame, is there any chance of getting the pipe ?
