    are you trying to sell it with that seat?
    the bike is also highly customized...like it or not that scares away many people. i wouldnt say huskies have zero resale, maybe only certain years or styles. i get offers on 80s ones a few times every summer

    Actually just needs the crank done. Top end is oem no porting, head had some pitting but it ran PERFECT. Then started it up one day and it was smoke city and acted like a vaccum leak really bad. It is sucking the gear oil in and burning it. Checked the flywheel and the crank knocks pretty bad when you move it.

    I have fixed damn near everything else. I plan on selling the pipe, silencer, lectron carb, fast by ferraci clutch basket, back warp 9 rim. Then junk the rest. I am sure that stuff will add up to my asking price quickly. (hoping)

    You still got std carb perhaps slap that back on and lower the price by a few hundred, you also should get some interest on parting it out, no fellow 125'ers on here that want a sexy clutch basket or a crank case??

    Yea yall should pick it up :)

    If it was running perfect the next time I would be able to take it out will be 4-6 months from now.

    So idk. I hate parting it out I will end up with a bunch of undersireable parts on the shelf going to the scrapper.

    Funny story I still have this stupid 125 i put it up for sale on craigslist for 1000$ and got 0 interest. I cannot believe it to be honest :O

    my 511 has been fantastic on 17s and since its so low supermoto style i do great on the trails with it :D so there is that!
