You have a very good point. now that I think of it I'm not 100% on what year its from. it might be an 87 which would be pretty nice. I could even use it as a learning project to strip apart just to get more familar with these motors.

Now you have me convinced to spend even more money, I dont think my wife is going to like that I signed up on this forum if I keep finding reasons to spend money lol.

I'll get some pictures and info of it when I go to pick up the LT.

So just to give you guys a quick update, I got word from the shop and my motor is all kinds of jacked up. the crank is free but is very loose with lots of play, and the wrist pin came off on one side and has been wearing on the cylinder. fix from the shop is to do a complete rebuild which for them to do will run me ballpark $1200+ the same shop does have a LT motor which needs significant transmission work at least, so I might be able to frankenstein a working motor together cheaper then that, but I'm not sure yet. From the sounds of it I can rebuild it for more then another bike, scrap it, or try to do a rebuild myself and save some $$$ any opinions?
