pittsburgh, the bike had blown up back in 2000ish and i had bought it in boxes. said it was too damaged i plan on getting it back but i still want to find a new aftermarket or oem

hmmm im just curious what got damaged that bad that they wont rebuild it.... cant see it being bad unless the snouts got bent/threads damaged....

youre 3hrs from my mechanic . up in philipsburg (north of altoona/state college area)

good luck cause im coming up empty on my searches also....

I'd pass on the one with damaged threads, not easy to fix unless you have the right tools and know how. Also, it looks like it was caused by being dropped. No telling if the snout is now tweaked. Definitely stick to the better used ones and a rod kit. Are you sure they said it was "not rebuildable" simply becuase they lack the tools or know how? It is a pretty big job that can easily get messed up if they dont know what they are doing!
