That is 1000-1500 dollars cheaper than they usually go for.

I would not commit to one of those though, without first looking at the weld job.  I'd hate to pay 4500, and have the "Y" come apart.  Lord knows you would be hauling serious ass when it did with that motor in there.

Very good point and something I think most potential buyers are aware of.  Note to sellers,
include close-up pictures of cradle mods.  In the case of this auction, I would contact the
seller and request close in pictures of the "Y", engine mounts and airbox/airboot.

If they are proud of their work, they will be happy to show it off.  If not, the pictures will all
be "20 footers" and buyer's should beware.

Some of the worst work, is done by companies that have been doing AFs, for years.

How they get away with it, I do not know.

I was just looking through Craig's list when I saw this and thought it was neat. I have never seen it before. I personally would never by something like this, I had a street bike that was a 750 frame and a 1100 engine and it became a nightmare.
