Total price $3000. Came with Sparco suit with bag, Bell helmet, neck brace, extra rims, tire bead breaker, mixing cup, mycron3, kart stand, trailer, gloves, cylinder boring plate, extra cylinder(damaged), extra head, carb jets, helmet bag, longacre air pressure gauge, extra brake pads and shims, extra banana radiator and mount. Think that's it.
When I got it home the rear brakes started leaking. It had sit for about a year. I rebuild the rear caliper on Sunday. The cylinder bore had corrosion on the walls. I cleaned it up with scotch brite. Worked like a charm. All the seals were OK. No more leaks in the rear. Now the fronts are leaking. At least I'll know my braking system well. Nate/Jason, do you have a brake bleeder? I had to rig up a home made unit. It worked, but was sloppy.
I've ran into some problems getting the trailer registered. However, the guy I bought the thing off of is VERY kind. He's a mechanical engineer. He actually used to work for Rusport and now works for Joe Gibbs Nextel team.
So, here's some pics of the new ride.
