denmarkboy Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 Nice one. Good for us that used car selling prices are low right now. I Always love a good deal , I am going to try and keep all build costs under 2500. And since I do all the labor myself it should be possible. Quote

Z chopper Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Me too. If only there was a way to make them ride smoother. I am sure there are ways to do just that Quote
DanielC Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 This is a quick and easy way to make a 521 ride smoother, and as a bonus, it gets lowered too. 2 Quote

datzenmike Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 I found about 700 pounds in the back of mine really improved the ride. The loss of performance was unacceptable though. Quote
scooter stuff Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 i went to my favorite honey hole and found these .. got both for 500.. which brings my total investment so far to 1600, 17 if you count the tow truck . the white one has a clean title and solid floors . Is that Greenhill? Quote
Z chopper Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 the white one is a late 69/early 70 521 which is the one I'd love to have Quote
ggzilla Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Haha, so true. But ruins the fuel economy. This is a quick and easy way to make a 521 ride smoother, and as a bonus, it gets lowered too. Quote
