Hey folks. I'm at a bit of a cross-roads right now with my 510.

I've got a new cylinder, gasket kit, cam chain, sliders and a few other bits waiting. My busted cylinder head seems to have dissapeared into the ether. When I call the guy I sent it to, I get the "still waiting on <insert excuse here>, it'll be 3-4 weeks, call me back then". I sent him the head three days after my bike blew up in March. Its August.

So at this point, I'm writing the head off.

New head (only guides and seats): 1300$
New piston + cylinder: 800$
New valves (4x150$) : 600$
New rod + cost to have it pressed in: 650$

All in all, its going to be about 3000$ minimum to get the bike running again. With such a staggering cost, I'm thinking that parting the bike out, and taking what I can get from the bottom end, frame, etc, etc, I can walk away with 2500$ to put twards a LC4.

But this isn't a popular ride, and its not ebay is teeming with parts-sharks looking to scoop up a new set of forks, or a frame.

So, whats everyones thoughts? Rebuild or Part?
