My SD was under $1000. It runs like rust and gets everyone around.

I recently bought 2 calipers, 4 rotors and a PS belt. Other than that??? A few things have needed attention but I have been able to fix it all without replacing parts. I just use stuff I have on hand. Today I fixed the rattling air cleaner case... Used bits of rubber fuel line and some random hardware laying around to fix the broken mounts.

I would expect to pay 3-4k for a really nice SD. This one is reliable and has character.
