First I hit a deer with the Reflex and ride out of it, then I drag this home for $150!!!

I'm pretty sure nothing on it is any good to the Reflex, but I would have jumped on this regardless. Funny thing is, if I had not hit the deer, I wouldn't have been looking for Reflex parts on Craigslist at lunch today and seen this pop up before it was gone!

Until now, the Reflex has NOT satisfied my urge to tinker. I got a whole heap of solution for that now

Well, looks like this one is just parts. I started to fiddle with it this past weekend, and the head bolts are missing!! I'm assuming if they tried to take it apart, it must have something seriously wrong.
I know there are tons of good aftermarket engine parts for these, but I don't want to go dumping money into it to get it running, just to find out other things are wrong. The front brake is dragging bad... and almost all the body fasteners are missing.

Who need Helix parts?

?

If I knew it would only take 3-400 bucks to fix, I would! I'm concerned it needs engine parts...

I envision myself getting it running just to find the stator isn't charging... I'd have to fix that, then replace the front caliper so I can ride it. Then I might find it has oil/coolant leaks, and who knows what else...!

Maybe I should focus on fixing the Reflex first, lol...
