Incomplete generator

[flainn]

Hi guys! I'm an FNG around here -- just got my GZ250. I won it on eBay for a really good price because it was repo'd and is missing some parts ...

Well, that's not as bad as it sounds. The only thing that's not intact are the components underneath the generator cover.

I took some pictures this evening while I had it open so you can get an idea of what I'm dealing with here: http://www.mcclearyconsulting.net/im...250-generator/

Basically, from what I've found on the Web, it looks like I'm missing just about everything in there except the shaft seal and the stator. Can anyone give me their assessment?

I'd sure like to get the bike running asap, and screwdrivers don't scare me. What's my best bet for obtaining these parts? I found a source online that seems to have everything I need (for about $450 shipped) but I'm wondering if there's a cheaper way of doing this. Buy a seized engine and harvest the parts, perhaps?

Good to be here among friends. Ride safe!
