    lol.

    I'll probably try and sell it for 250$ or so for a quick sale once I get my other fork Monday.

    do itttttt.

    you could always get a frame, and buy the components to build your own.

    that's what I was hoping @BamaTaco56 would do and he could get my fork for cheap to build the bike with.

    Cheapest I found it was $450 with an extra 10% off.

    That’s more than I thought it was, but your bike is higher tier than I thought.

    In my research I did it’s not as cost effective to build unless you take a year to build buying everything used.

    idk if you’ve found any other thoughts on it, but a years wait is a looooonngggg time.

    yup, and mine in bike terms is practically brand new.

    most don't build for cost effectiveness, they build to be able to hand select all the components they want on the exact frame they want, which ends up being cost effective since those options aren't usually available "built".

    There's some good places to ride in that Go Nuts series. Most are within a 2 hour drive too.

    I've always watched it on redbull tv, and I can't find the dirt bike I want used right now.

    may as well do something I suppose.
