But anyways... doing some work on it at the moment to just get the d*** thing running. As far as I can tell, it has been sitting in a garage for over 15 years, so of course the gas lines are gunked up and what have you. It DOES have compression, so I am optimistic that I will get it to start. So as I start my venture, I decided to look around for OEM parts. One of the first things I noticed on it, is that the bolt that goes right below the seat and connects the 2 side panels in front was missing... no biggy... or so I thought. So I do a quick google search and find a distributor that has that simple, cheap bolt which comes to a "WHOPPING" .74 cents. Only thing is... Shipping and Handling is $14.95??? WOW, SERIOUSLY??? $14.95 for a * .74 cent bolt?? Uhm, NO THANKS. There has GOT TO BE better then that out there for Part Number: 93404-06016-00. It's a 6X16, I am assuming I can probably just pick one up at my hardware store... that aside, I am wondering if someone has some better leads on OEM parts.
Kinda looking forward to restoring this POS Spree. It's a smaller motorcycle then what I am used to working on ( I work for Polaris Industries doing Victory & Indian motorcycles), but it all seems so simple, how could I pass up the fun?? Just don't wanna spend a fortune on such a simple project. Need better parts connections... thanks.
