When I bought my Zilla it needed plastics too. It was about 550 for fenders and hood. Also needed wheels, and tires. That was about 575 front and rear wheels and Razr tires, for the dirt. I dunno about a rear caliper. Best bet would be a wnted ad in the classifieds. Post a link to the Craigslist ad.

My bike was restored complete frame off ground up rebuild for a little over $2500 plus the $1500 original cost. A $2000 budget can go a long way if you're willing to do everything yourself and learn a ton along the way and you'll have a very nice Zilla when you're finished! Good luck with the purchase can't wait to see pics of the whole lot! If you have a spare engine I might wanna buy it!!

Lol I too was thinking about pulling the trigger on those bikes....they've been on there for a little while. But I'm trying to get rid of some stuff at the moment, not enough room and not enough time lol. Good luck with it.
