So I really do not need to replace the crank rod correct?

We have the few magazine covers in there now, and I know it was a popular page, so that would be awesome to have more. Shoot them over when you get a chance.
Well, the first of the scaned pics is ready. The file is huge though. I sent you an email requesting info.

They seem to be pretty rare. I don't see many on ebay and of the 3 rolling chassis I got, none had rear brakes. There are new ones on ebay for around $120 I believe.

Hey gents, made it through yet another semester of engineering hell.

I'm pretty sure my girlfriends brother ran that black 230 dry on oil when he was riding a few weekends ago and now the motor is stuck (or so it seems, haven't looked too close). And to be honest, I'm not terribly motivated to fix it considering it was never in great shape, and never ran good anyways. So my question is, if I were to part out the entire vehicle, what would you guys guess I could fetch? Its a 100% complete 86 230S with an old DG pipe, brand new DG nerfs, black custom offset wheels, and an acceptable looking set of plastics with only a few cracks.

Could I get close to $1000 you suppose, or am I being overly optimistic?

I was thinking about putting my '86 up for sale. Just rebuilt the motor (about half broke-in so far), most all stock and in fair to good condition. Thinking I would be lucky to get $650 for it(which is what I spent putting the thing together). If parting it out would fetch more, that would be cool, but I don't know if I would have the time to deal with all that.

Oh, and I still have another rolling chassis to start working on
