Bansh-eman Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) canada? not a clue. if your willing to send it to the states thee are a ton... Jeff at FAST, Jim at Passion , Kevin at Herr Jugs Racing ... the list goes on and on.. Edit: any reason you dont try it your self? 2 strokes are very easy! get a clymers manuel and start looking in it.. shows you step by step Edited June 21, 2007 by Bansh-eman Quote
mackdawg Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Posted June 21, 2007 hmm well i think shiping it and stuff will prob. come just around the same number as these fucks are giving me... see ive done all the work on it as of now, i just dont have time to work on it just so busy with work, trust me id love to do it my self...

Bansh-eman Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) shippng it shouldnt cause it come to 1200 bones by any means... i shipped mine half way across the country and it cost me 95 bucks.. so add a little for international your still under 1200 bucks after the work is done... EDIT: look into a few builder in Mich area... would be cheaper to ship there too... Edited June 21, 2007 by Bansh-eman Quote
mackdawg Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Posted June 21, 2007 hmm yea i guess i will come out under the price their giving me, but ive also read that every one is backed up quite abit and turn around is a month and this shop here says done in 12 hours so like 2morrow.. so i dont know if thats why their charging me so fuckn much Quote
Washburn Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 No way man. Im shipping Elkas with Piggybacks a stock milled head timing plate, Impeller and gasket, and a bunch of other stuff all the way to Australia and thats 150.00 USD for 4-6 days. 1200 is a complete ripoff. You could ship it to the states to whoever you feel the most comfterble with few a few hundo completed there and back. My guy genaraly charges 45.00 an hour but he is super quick and very good. He and a bunch of other people could do it for you just check turn around times that meet your needs. Or get a Clymers AKA The Banshee Bible study it and do it yourself. Its not hard really. Quote
2Smoker Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Hey I'm in slave lake alberta. I am in the process of rebuilding my bike I sent my top end to milligan's cycle works in new brunswick (i'm origianally from nova scotia) it cost me 26 dollars to ship my top end there and 650 bucks to resleeve a cylinder and bore both out and plane my head and a stud kit and piston/gasket kit. PM me or something if you have all of the parts I can put it together, I can rebuild my bottom end no problem it's just the machine work I couldn't do. I am waiting for a crank right now my cases are split. The prices in alberta are fucking crazy I was WAY better off shipping my shit to NB. Milligan is an awesome builder. He redid my top end 2 years ago and it was a bulletproof motor. My connecting rod bent after 2 years of WOT riding. They used to rebuild a lot of rd350s and banshees and sleds. www.milliganscycleworks.com It doesn't take 12 hours no way and with all of the retarded engine builders I talked to in this province I wouldnt trust anyone to put my motor together anyways. Let me know! We have to go riding in the sand in brule/hinton. Quote
