The swing arm and frame look to be solid, I'll most likely be using this frame as a test bed anyway, as it's missing the speedometer, front brakes need alot of work, seat is shot, turn signals are missing and I can get another bike just like it for $200 or less with a bad engine off craigslist.
The big hicup I've run in to is I was told that the 3.5" shaft in the photo could cost $300-400 each if I wanted more of them made, it will still mean that this will be a very cost effective motorcycle to build as everything else you need to build one is cheap to buy but I think that a single high priced part can turn alot of people away and it's going to push the total price to build one even closer to that $1,500 mark I was hoping to stay under as the motor adapter "kit" might come out to cost $600-700 at this point, another $300 for a used motor and controller from a golf cart shop, $200 for the motorcycle, leaving only $300 for batteries, battery rack, cables and hard ware.
