Hey man, I hate to break it, but frames are not cheap. Check Kawasaki, they are asking $1087.27 @ my local Kawasaki shop (http://www.matison.com) This is just for the steel frame. So, I find $175 to be a fair deal as it is 16% of what it costs new.

I'm so d**n busy with work, but if I get some time to get out and chop the frame up and swing by the post office, you'll have a frame. Be patient or be willing to pay up. But, I do agree with you, it is crazy how much a piece of metal costs. I had to replace some plastics on my R1 after some scratches and ect. Cost me nearly $1800 for parts that cost them less than $100 to manufacture.

BigGreenMachine:
Gowen, how long before you think you can mail that frame? PM me what you want for it.

I hear ya on cost. I've paid outrageous dealer prices for stuff that was no bigger then your thumb.

BigGreenMachine:
Yup! Priced them yesterday, $15 bux CDN a pop...nuts.

Here is all I need of the frame, inside the red. Would you pay $165 for that?

c-152:
Man - I hate the prices of parts especially at the dealer but I have to agree with Gowen that 165 is a good deal.  You have to know that a frame isnt just scrap steel, it is metal that is framed up and weilded to precise (or at least we hope) standards.  I know you are just cutting it up but as a seller - I wouldnt care what you were doing with it.  I frequently buy and sell used parts and have several frames that I have sold for more than 175$.  Everyone who purchased one said they could not believe that they got a frame for that cheap.  I have seen just the subframe sell for more.  I know a couple of friends and a local track/shop that always has parts around.  I will check with them but I hope Gowen works out
