Hi all,
I have a question regarding doing my own LMX base kit bike .... I already sold my gas dirt bike, so I am considering whether to buy a complete bike, like LMX 161, Kuberg Freerider or Sur-Ron .... or just have fun building it too and rather getting LMX 1614 base kit.
I am mechanically inclined with garage, tools and time, so from that perspective I like the idea very much.
But how hard it is to get, mainly the right front end components. I want a good fork with a good support for rebuild in North America (I hear RST is not directly supported anymore in USA or Canada?) The difference in LMX price between the kit and complete bike is about 2300 CAD ... is this even realistic to get a good quality front end, including complete wheel top triple and handlebars for this sort of money? What are the on-line retailers you guys use for something like that.
I don't mind going used off ebay or with a good quality rebuilt stuff, but that opens up a different set of challenges, right?
Thanks for chiming in.
