My challenge is that I am looking for all the electronics from a zero FX not necessarily the bike its self. I have a few projects that could benefit from a zero FX power system. I have approached Zero before about buying equipment and they said nope. I am really wanting a crashed bike with a bent swing arm or frame not a ready to go bike. I am very willing to wait for the right deal but being out here in the east makes these bike quite rare local to me.
If you can find something on Craigslist, shipping east may not be that bad. I paid $250 to have my FX shipped, via Uship.com. The low bids came from drivers who could basically strap the bike onto a truck that was already headed my way, earning themselves a few extra bucks for the trip.
Searchtempest.com is a good tool for nationwide searches. Not much on there now, but I seem to remember a couple listings awhile back for older bikes assembled from leftover Zero parts (pre-2012)...
