Wished I lived closer :'(, that's a perfect candidate for an Intruder heart transplant, don't part it out!!! There are too few VX's to ruin a perfectly good roller chassis.

Can we save this one from the parts vultures? :wacko:

I've posted this over on the VX email list...

why an intruder?  i have a perfectly good vx engine with a bit more miles (12k) that i got as a spare for my vx which started consuming a pint of oil every 1500(?) miles.  i decided that adding oil was a lot easier than trying to do a transplant  :lol:

Hens teeth are easier to find than a running VX engine without it's frame...
Perfectly good VX motors are stripped to pieces by the parts vultures.

They're are plenty of orphaned Intruder 800 engines by comparison....

Where's Harold when we need him?

harold asked me to find him another nice vx, but mike b. decided to keep it.
there is another local (to me) vx with a good engine ...

i'd have expected to have more engines back east and more frames out west, but apparently not!

Happy to report that this one got saved from the parts vultures. It will get a new heart from a bent VX. :angel:

I don't know how we're going to work it. It will surely be strange and complicated.
