400 plus shipping for chamber, 140 plus shipping for the flange, 40 and change for the gaskets.You can buy this whole kit brand new . Guy makes a carbon version with flange and everything you need.

It's really only reed specific stuff that is going up. Piston port / 440 stuff can be had for pennies on the dollar. Even still, I never liked the JS hull, still don't, and I really only deal with the pricey parts. In my opinion they don't really do anything well and are the mongoose or huffy of jetskis. Still better than a 650sx but just barely.Funny how 440/550 stuff is going through the roof in price.

I raced bmx for 10 years and our house ramps are in 2 separate PROPS videos... never met anyone decent on a MongooseThems fightn’ words. The original Mongooses were really good, before they were sold and became Chinese crap. Still have my 1990 Mongoose Maneuver.
I agree with this 100% my very first BMX was a Mongoose Expert from the pawn shop. First race at Volusia county and I won all 3 moto's and the main for the 7B class, Other dads told my pops, GET THIS KID A REAL BIKE!!! I will always have a soft spot for MongooseThems fightn’ words.

Damn, back when props would feature races in the video! Spent too much time watching Props and building "dirt jumps" as a youth, They were glorified sand hills haha. Good to hear there are some riders on here! If you only knew how big of a part of my life that is. @Sanoman will tell you, there are an awful lot of BMX bikes and trophies inside my house haha best memories of Dad and I, RIP pops.I raced bmx for 10 years and our house ramps are in 2 separate PROPS videos... never met anyone decent on a Mongoose

This was my CycleCraft we got just after that first race. Picked it up used at the BMX track... Sorry to thread jack, just taking a trip down memory lane!
