Connecting Rod Bearings Worn Down

[William Groebe]

Picked up the parts bike

So, I went ahead and picked up that parts bike yesterday for $100. Now I'm the proud owner of two non-running motorcycles. There is going to be a lot to do on this, and it no longer qualifies as a problem with a connecting rod bearing so I'm going to start a new thread.

Wish me luck on the engine swap. This is going to be some real Dr Frankenstein fun.

I bet that parts bike will have a sound engine in it. You can find out in a few hours time.

Good score. You've got $100 plus in those pipes alone by the look of things.

Hope the new engine is fine. I would lift the cam cover and the sump and have a look to see what the insides have been up to before fitting if I were you.
