Bar Hoppers here are cheap and plentiful, and I thought a Hammer was a Victory product. One of their stores is down the street from me.
But yeah, a Jr Dragster bike could be done for as low as 7 or 8K. Check out the cost for an engine, clutch and drive assembly for them, and add the other 2K for the drag frame, and rigging.
These Titans (engine only) start at $4500.
3 to 4 G's does not get you a Jr Dragster powered bike. To put a finer point on it, I spend nearly that amount restoring vintage mini bikes, several of which I have posted here over the years.
It's your money, so hell yeah, build the bike we've all always wanted to build but could never afford to. :thumbsup: It was you who mentioned those JR Dragster motors after all.
