I'm not sure how much the Jim Husted magic costs, but stock these motors
have been seen for a lot less, probably because John Wayland bought a lot of
about 32 of these a couple of years ago and spread them around at his cost
of $125 each. I got one for that price then picked up another in trade for
some old NiCads I had laying around. For racing these motors might be a
bargain, but for just building a street motorcycle, probably not.

The "Buy it now" price of $750 is super bargain. These motors should sell
quickly. Without that upper limit, I would have expected these motors to go
for about $1,000 each.

Last fall Jim Husted took 2 ADC 6.7" Tropica motors and re-worked them for
me for a drag bike I was going to build that was to have a dual-motor
setup.
He Kevlar banded the comms, advanced them, moved the temp sensor to the
brush holder and added solid copper brush leads, and more - the same mods
he
has since done to Bill's Killacycle motors. These motors are pure works of
art. To echo the words of John, Bill and others, Jim is THE man when it
comes to motors.
Unfortunately, for several reasons, the bike project is not going to be. I
am selling the bike frame and parts and after talking with Jim tonight, I
have listed the motors on eBay for sale. There are lots of pictures and
details of the motors on the listing. If anyone is interested or has any
questions please let me know.
The listings are:
