SmokinDodges Gen 1 A/F !!
I just picked it up last night! I am pretty sure I got a heck of a good deal on it. It's a 1999 just had the motor gone through over the winter. Original plastics, the kid gave me a full extra back wheel set up. He also gave me a new front fender 3 sets of new handlebars and a nearly new knobby. He also just put a new FMF pipe and silencer on it!! Oh yeah I paid him $1000 for it. How did I do?? The second pic is both of my bikes, I bought the 500 last fall it is in pretty good shape. It is a 92 it just had the top end done it runs awesome. I am so pumped to get started, I have already ordered the kit from Danny and lined up a welder buddy of mine to do the welding for me for a 12 pack. Time to start selling the extra parts!!

The'99 motor brings good money from the kart guys... You really got the roller for like $300.
Depending what the pipe and sliencer fetch...... + the other "odd's and end's"..... Maybe free?
Be sure to tell your welder to preheat the frame..... getting the thing hot will keep the tig heat from being drawn out into the rest of the frame.
Get on it!!!

This all came together in a huge hurry, I just saw the ad for the 250 wed night and he was asking 1500. I went to see it yesterday and pulled the C note trick on him and got a smokin deal. The pipe and silencer are basically new, so I should be able to get some decent change out of them. What are all of you doing with your 500 rollers. Mine is in great shape, is there any chance of selling it whole? If so how much ball park.

One other slight issue, the kid I bought it from told me the extra wheel that came with it didn't fit. I was hoping he was wrong, but he wasn't. I wasn't going to turn him down and let him keep it, the thing is like brand new. But it looks like it must be for a newer bike, the bearings/shaft for the axle are larger than the 99. Is there anything I can do to make this one work or should I try to swap it for a different one? any suggestions?

Sorry I wasn't able to help any of the Hoons out here but it is a done deal. It is worth a few bucks to me to have it "roll" out of my garage. Took me less than an hour to sell it and the guy is coming with cash in the morning. I was shocked I thought I would have to sit on it for a while.

I am trying to get all the little pieces for this project together before my kit gets here from Danny. Have any of you Gen 1ers tried to get the front mount bolt (the long one) from a dealership. I would think they would have a pretty good supply of stuff like that. Also what diameter is the bolt? I know it needs to be 160mm or 170mm long, but what diameter. If the dealer doesn't have them what is the next best option, who has them? Thanks guys, BTW I have already got $700 of my $1000 back out of this project and I still have my complete 250 motor minus the pipes!!

10mm. If you can find a bolt place, they should have it. Like fastenal, or something similar. I got mine froma place called Nevada bolt here in vegas.
nice on recouping the funds, watch, you'll make money on the conversion!! haha!

I keep trying to reinforce the fact that anyone can afford to build a Gen1 A/F, and that with the information here, anyone with the most vary basic of fabrication skills can do it themselves..smokindodge wrote:BTW I have already got $700 of my $1000 back out of this project and I still have my complete 250 motor minus the pipes!!
Right on Smokie!!!

Just had a guy call and want my motor here locally, he is going to give me 650 for it. I know I probably could get more on eBay but this way I don't have to hassle with shipping or anything. I don't know about the rest of you but I am totallly shocked, projects never go like this for me. usually I end up on the wrong end of the deal. It is a pleasant surprise to be in the black on this project. I should be riding this mother a week from now!!!! I am not trying to brag or anything but I am proud as shit!!

I am starting the mock up on my bike. Am I going to have to modify my tank a little bit, it's just the stock tank?? I read another post where danny had to, I am just not sure with a stock tank. I got my frame all cleaned up last night, mounts ground off etc. It looks awesome, I will throw up some pics later. As soon as my kit gets here I will be riding this mother!!
