RE: Need honest advice
Is there anyway you would think about trying it yourself? If I had all the parts and couldn't pay for the labor, I would try it myself. There has to be threads on here about how to do it.
Just trying to throw out any suggestion, no matter how dumb it sounds.

RE: Need honest advice
I would still advise not to give it back. Keep your head up and keep saving money. Of the guys that posted in your texan thread, see if they can help for cheaper. Just a suggestion.

got all the parts just need to pay labor, and trust me thats the cheapest i can get her fixed for, thats the flat bottom rate from my friends shop (55 an hour) its like 250 or so for him to do the front forks, then 10 minutes to rivet on the chain and torque down all the bolts and whatever long it takes to clean and sync the carbs.

HAHAHA a dealer wouldnt touch it man they would look at it and say 2 dollars. I dont have good enough credit to get a newer bike. i cant even get a 500 dollar loan using my title to my truck as collateral
i owe approx 1800-2k on it i havent looked at the statement in a few months.

I definitely would not suggest letting the bank take it back. Try and see if a local dealer could take it on trade. You will owe more than what it is worth, but if your payment does not increase and you get a newer bike out of it, should be worth it. How much so you owe?

im sure you know someone with a torque wrench, and im sure there is a member on here in your area who has or has access to a carb sync tool . paying a dealer for the labor when you have all the parts yourself is baffling to me. dont give up your bike because you dont have the money to pay someone else to do the work. keep your bike man trust me being without sucks !
