Dan, that's exactly the way it's shaping up. Another ten years or so, and you'll see an entire aftermarket for turning the 450's back in to stockers from hack-job cafe racers. I could sell the Scrambler as it sits for at least $500. The pipes alone are worth that much, even with them being a bit dinged up. I think I'm going to go down to the motorcycle junkyard out here in Phoenix tomorrow or Tuesday and buy the 450 engine I saw there. It's missing the stator cover, but I can work around that. I have the complete (I hope it's complete, anyway) engine that came with the Scrambler, plus about 2/3rds of a second engine. If I buy the 450 out of the junkyard, that will give me about three and a bit complete engines to split among the two bikes that I have with the 450's. Seems like a good investment to me, at least.
