Wow!, Just finished reading all 5 pages, and this has been a very interesting thread and at about page 2 I was ready to start giving you ideas and then I realized how old the thread was!lol
Onebad, How much loot do you have wrapped up into this project now?
Im just curious because I bought my 450 with a partsbike for 1000 bux and after selling a few parts had 700 into my initial investment.
I now have over 2500 into it but just like you I ran into roadblock after roadblock and fix after fix, but I just kept throwing money at it!lol
I mean once your into it for a few bux, you just dont wanna stop!lol

OneBaddAssZ71 · 02-12-2012, 10:39 PM

im in it about 1000 bucks now including cost of the rancher itself. its been a money pit tho.

Try owning a boat one, haha I still havent messed with my rancher I picked up for 300, I think the shift fork is messed up in the rear, I cleaned the carb got it running but it wouldnt shift into gear and when I removed the cable linkage in the back and wrenched on it it seemed like it wanted to move.. hopefully its just the shift fork... but its the girls bike and she doesnt like the cold weather so I can wait a few more months !!!
