The motor in this one looks awfully nice:

I tried to talk him out of doing it but no luck.

Do not have a set price would depend on the motor and who it comes from. Joe smo down tge road I would probably not want to pay as much as someone that I at least have some repor with and what has been done to it. Honestly best for me probably a motor with a good tranny but needs everything else rebuilt then I know what I get.

I say an 1125 tuber would be cool get that whole set up and then take your tank and cut the middle out relocate the gas tank put a custom intake on it maybe one of those kyurikan ones drop the gauges down w/ no front shield and have the kyurikan looking sorta like a super charger.

Question are the triple tree on the 1125 or xb12/9 compatible with the tubers? I know fab would be required for a swing arm and a rear shock mount which I can fab. And I can fab a new gas tank but I'm seriously considering that swap now. If anyone is interested In buying my engine/forks/swingarm/shock. Depending on what I can get for them I would def do it over the winter

Travis I have an XB swing arm, brake, axle, and fenders as I was going to do that swap but am going another route. I would trade you for some parts what swingarm do you have what motor this might work for both of us

I've got a x1 swingarm cast alum I think? A 1200 cc engine(bored .40 over supposedly according to the prev owner) I don't trust anyone but he said he bought it from a Harley shop who rebuilt the engine and did the .40 over. I was gonna take it apart and do a full check this winter I just can't tell without pulling the engine apart. Do you have a 1125 engine+tranny? If not I would sell you mine and swap parts? And then use the money to buy a 1125 engine and tranny. Also I get a huge discount shipping w/ FedEx as I work for them so we can save some money that way.

There's ur answer but like I said I haven't had a chance to open it up so I really don't wanna tell anyone or sell anyone anything bad. If someone felt unsure about it I could open it up and take pics and check everything out only reason I bought the bike was because it was 1k and it ran and ran well very fell for 1k lol

Someone posted this link to a Buell engine for sale in the classifieds:

Might be worth checking out.
