When your project goes sideways, and your thought process is, “maybe I need a parts car.”

Nah, It’s not a problem until you need a parts car for your parts car

No this is being resourceful.
Like aperson says, when you need backup parts car, I’d start to question it.

That’s exactly how I wound up with four Honda 350x trikes in various stages of assembly.
The next stage is “Well, these all need a lot of work. What if I buy one nice one and just sit on these for a bit.”

If you’re looking for enablers, you’ve come to the right place.

My 2 cents: I don’t recommend it.

If one of them has paperwork so it could be registered I could make that 3 trikes. I don’t need an engine with it.
I still haven’t gotten anywhere with mine because I’m
lazy
not eager to put a 600cc motor into a trike with no suspension.

I have titles or certificates of origin for all but one. Some dipwad ground the serial numbers off of Black Betty. I’m a bit of a hoarder though. I can’t sell them off.
600cc on a hardtail would be a little frightening.

The worst thing is when your parts car is 1000 miles away so you start looking around for other more local parts cars cause it’s cheaper to buy them than to go pick up the one you have already...

If you sell one off to a fellow Oppo though, you have some money to get one or two more to replace it. And you get first dibs if it was ever going up for sale again.

You’re second on the list of first contacts if I sell any complete machines or die building them. My buddy Bernie has first choice and he only wants the 200x.

No the problem is that you only have half the cylinders you need!

Sounds like a plan. And if you ever get a pile of like 3 hardtails and a Honda motor dropped off at your place, assume the worst happened.
