New to me 2001 ds650
Well I just had a nice bike fall into my lap.
2001 ds 650 with a fresh Ron Woods Stage 3 kit installed, 4 fresh razr2 tires,3 fresh Bomb hpg shocks, new wheel/carrier bearings and fresh bushings at all pivot points... 5 tanks of supreme ran in bike so far and it just got out of the shop with the valves set after break in. Gps speed after break in was well over a 100mph, but my friend had no speed rated tires and backed off after the c note speed.... Price- $5000 Canadian.... that is the price of the Ron woods head porting, stroking/boring, piston, carb, cdi, header/exhaust package alone. Never was a Bomb guy, but I knew the history on bike since buddy bought it new. BIG Older bike , but rare around here and very powerful. Not a woods racer, but there is many logging/ fire roads and sand hills I know of that will let the 80hp+ run. :wink: Paid down some cash yesterday and hoping to pick bike up this afternoon.Pics will follow shortly....hopefully not from hospital room. :roll:
