building the bike and seeing your work turn into a thing of beauty is so much more rewarding then just buying a new bike. not to mention, you cant just go out and buy a new g or dj1-rr. building bikes is what we do out here. its all about the pride of your own work

but some work better then others. if you can find them, look for redline products. theyre good, but unfortunately the company was recently shut down.

not just money but that;s a disc brake conversion to a non disc break moped and a headset that does not accomidate the master cylinder. This was pieced together with taiwan legs and a japan triple and headset.two of the inner plastics were refurbished.the front rim was restored as it looked like a piece of shet before i finished it.it's not just money but knowledge and know how.basically the bike was put together from scratch. the original black one was in an accident. i had to buy another frame. install components on the new frame. Find new plastics and refurbish.

well i have been lookin for a JOB!! But people dont want teens anymore it is so messed up.. And i know how much work goes into a ped b/c my se was the same way when i got it was in all pecies and i had to put every thing back together. when it was back to gether it had no spark so i found the problem and it was the stator. so that took me a good 2 months of my winter last year
then i was just happy to have it run then i upgraded it to a 65cc then my so called friend blew it up.. now i am back to square 1 besides the pulley kit and the coil and the center spring.. so Now i am tryin to get it back to the way it was so yeah.. Very hard to do when there is no income.. It just takes alot of time and money.. with money u cant do s***..
