1980 PE175 Motor
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:14 pm
Hi everybody, I bought a project bike a couple days back. Its a PE175. PE is "pure enduro" for anyone wondering. It has everything but the motor. It had all the plastics, Wiring, cables, coil, headlight and even the carb and pipe. Its missing some nuts and bolts, the bolt that goes through the fuel tank mount and connects to the frame, and the motor mount hardware. All of it was $75.
I'm really stuck on finding a motor though. I know that the RM125 motor will fit in fine, but would rather have the 175. I have looked around the interwebs, and found 2 on eBay. One is $299, doesnt have any electronics and has no rod, and un-usable top end. The other is $399 and has everything. Even a new wiring harness. But thats ebay, and what i think could be a whole motor could be a empty case! If theres anyone out there who knows where i can get one of these motors, please let me know
