What do you guys think - can you net more money from parts or from the whole machine? Even if i got more for the parts - it's a hell of alot of work to take apart and sell each part. Then after its sold you have to package and ship the parts to each buyer. Packing the fenders and tub etc, is a pain in the ars if you pack them right so they are not destroyed. not to mention the odd ball stuff that doesn't sell - then you gotta deal with that. I would be very suprised to see this machine parted out!!!



unfortunately you make more parting it out, but yes it is more work.

ok - so it doesn't take that long to part out - do you think you can net more cash for one parted or whole?

that's hard to say and I think hit and miss, you see how fast the vultures swooped in and started claiming parts on this one I got beat out on several items I would have been interested in lmao I thought Odykid got more for parts than he got for a best offer on the whole Pilot but keep in mind he was also in Miami so shipping cost may have been a factor too, DC is in the northern part of the state...

Pretty sure most if not ALL those that lay claim to parts if its parted will be taking them I don't see DC setting long on it if its parted out, he might be stuck with the frame for a while but everything else should go fast, DC takes care of his stuff, its not some neglected cobbled up POS DC also does detail work and knows his shit, more importantly he is honest as they come I really hate to see him leaving the group I hope he still sticks around after the Pilot is gone.

I bought a ton of parts from ODYKID when he parted it out, dam near bought everything he did not promise to the masses.I would have saven several thousand dollars by just buying it as a whole like I first thought-most of my ODYKID PROJECT PILOT is from him, frame, top cage, ton of stuff.

If I still lived close to DC I'd go buy his pilot and part it out, better yet switch some shiny parts from his to mine and then part it out. Money to be made parting out! If I didn't have a Pilot, I would be a happy camper buying his cause I know it's a good one. :-)

Any offers for the complete Pilot by chance? What are you looking to get for it, price reduction by chance for the complete unit?

There are several interested parties, but as of today no firm sale. I do not see a price reduction in the cards for this Pilot... I have much more invested in it and am not in a position to take more of a loss than I already am.

The plan is to begin parting it around the 30th of August if no sale is made.

I will be driving from Orlando to Pittsburgh (Delmont) on Sept 2nd or 3rd to attend the motorcross races on the 4th, so if it is parted out, I will be able to deliver the "BIG" hard to ship items (frame, top cage, wheels/tires etc) part way up the the east coast for no shipping cost if there are interested parties.

I'm not sure how the shocks were set up, these were originally on one of Tadrads pilots. I am about 180 pounds and they seem a little stiff for me

Tadrad, can you chime in here and tell us how much your fat ass weighs so we can estimate the set up on these shocks?

Back then my fat ass weighed 170lbs on a heavy day but I'd say those shocks were better suited to someone around 225 lbs. Who you callin a fat ass, short ass? :shock:
