Thinking of cold galving my spokes
PIMP away man , if you are gonna violate , do it with passion !
Can't help with these other dudes looking for enjin's or spares bikes , but if you are really a serious restorer , have a look at Craigs List over in California. I've been helping a friend get a VS800 block from over there.
Its not impossible to import a block, but you have to know the dance.
The key thing is to get an Import Permit.
Perhaps you guys looking for DR600/650 engines can just keep tabs on this thread ...what I can do is summarise the procedure for maximum efficiency based on this VS800 learning curve ?? You'll need to wait a while.
It's time we home fixer's got wise and stopped living like we were still in international isolation , perhaps it's time some old bastard like me summarised import and banking procedures for the dummy, but first I'd have to un-dummy myself and gather the facts !
This is a very small world and there is no reason why we should limit our used parts shopping to our own soil.
