just gonna go look. I need a straight front wheel if he has one - which is ~$140 online anyway, so if he has one, it's like I'm gettng everything else for free.

Doubt he has titles for the frames, but if there's enough good parts there, I might be able to offload some of it and break even.

Would be nice if there's a wider F3 rear wheel there too.

I went and checked out the parts tonight - apparently the craigslist pics were from months ago - since then he had disassembled all of the engines, and parts were scattered everywhere. One rolling chassis is was a 88 model. No motor. The F3 frames were both 98 models - frames only, no titles, the wheels from the F3's were both flatspotted at a spot or 2. He also had a early 90's R6 in similar condition. Couple of 4 wheelers scattered, and a handful of dirtbikes all the same.

Looks like this guy has a pattern of buying something non running and tearing it apart, then leaving it. He wanted $100 to take all the non dirtbikes, but there weren't enough parts worth reselling. The rest I'd have to deal with scrapping myself for the metal value, and I'm not sure I can even scrap the frames without a title.

Well cycle gear cancelled my order - they were out of stock on all of the size larges they had listed online. So that's 2 strikes.

Oh well. That's twice I missed on a closeout on the exo-1000.
